Orographic lift is how terrain can cause rainfall in the Santa Cruz Mountains. When moist air rises up a mountain slope, it expands causing it to cool adiabatically. Cool air can’t hold as much moisture, so water vapor condenses, forming clouds, fog, and rain; the reverse of adiabatic compression.🧪
