Which effect results from mountain uplift disturbing prevailing winds?

💡 Explanation

Orographic lift leads to rain shadow formation because moisture condenses on the windward side, therefore, the leeward side becomes drier, rather than impacting sea level, aligning to magnetic declination, or enhancing carbon sequestration.
