Which outcome occurs when prevailing winds encounter volcanic islands?

💡 Explanation

Orogenic lift causes increased precipitation upslope because air is forced to rise and cool, leading to condensation and rainfall; therefore, coastal areas on windward sides of islands are rainier, rather than leeward sides where rain shadows form.
