ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: What Is The Rain Shadow Effect? Here's A Simple Explanation!

กำลังสร้างบทเรียน...
1
This is the Rocky Mountains, a mountain range in North America stretching from western Canada to New Mexico.
2
Now, look closely.
3
Some parts of it are green, but right here, there's a desert.
4
Why?
5
Well, this is called the rain shadow, and it's a common occurrence in the mountains.
6
It forms on the side of a mountain that is opposite to the wind.
7
So here's how it works.
8
The wind that approaches the mountain brings along some moisture from the sea or the ocean.
9
As the air goes up the mountain, it expands and cools, dropping rain and snow along the way.
10
So that side is well-moisturized with greenery, maybe even flowers somewhere along the way.
11
As the air passes the peak and goes back down, it warms up and the clouds dissipate.
12
So there's almost no moisture left anymore and that side of the mountain stays dry.
