- (C) As the air lifts (orographic lifting), it becomes cooler. Cooler air holds
less water vapor. At location C, the air is holding the maximum amount of
water vapor. Given the fact that the temperature has decreased, it would
receive the maximum amount of rain. At the top of the mountain at location
D, much of the water vapor has been depleted from the air.
