This paragraph attempts to explain the rain shadow effect, but it gets some of the facts wrong. identify the inaccurate statements in the paragraph. the mojave desert provides a famous example of a rain shadow effect in the sierra nevada. warm, moist air goes up the mountain on its leeward side, where its water content condenses to precipitate as rain or snow. then the cold, dry air moves to the other side, where the desert lies. this side is called the windward side and, compared with the leeward side, receives hardly any rainfall. this rain shadow effect is responsible for the dryness and extreme climate of the desert. nextreset

Rain shadow is described as a dry area on the leeward side of a mountain. The mountain blocks the warm moist air, and loses most of its moisture in the windward side. When it reaches the peak, the mass of air has already lost most, if not all of its moisture. It cools on the top, resulting in dry air going down the leeward side. 

So based on your paragraph, there is an error in the following:
Warm, moist air goes up the mountain on its leeward side. 
* Based on the explanation above, the moist air goes up the mountain on the windward side, not the leeward. 

Another error can be found in the sentence:
This side is called the windward side and, compared with the leeward side, receives hardly any rainfall. 
*As explained, the side that receives a lot of rainfall is the windward side and the dry air goes down the leeward side, not the windward side.
