I think that occurrence is an example of : The lithosphere influences the atmosphere and biosphere

Rains happen when the water within the atmosphere brought out by the win and will eventually fall to the place where it came into

The thing is, These mountains often blocked the water-filled with air, causing it not able to reach the place behind the mountain, which will eventually became a desert

Deserts are large land surfaces covered in sands and stones. The formation of deserts takes place by the weathering processes. The formation of Sierra Nevada is because the lithosphere influences the atmosphere and biosphere.

The weathering process is defined as the breakdown of rocks or minerals into the Earth's surface. The lithosphere influences the atmosphere and biosphere to form the Sierra Nevada desert.

The following steps are:

The atmosphere brings the rain via wind, which eventually falls on the land surface and outer rocky surface of Earth (lithosphere). The mountains are tall and heightened structures, which can block the incoming wind with water vapors. Thus, due to the lack of appropriate rains by mountains, the formation of the desert will take place.

Therefore, the Sierra Nevada mountains block the winds that eventually lead to the formation of the desert. The lithosphere influences the biosphere and atmosphere.

d. sodium chloride ions.

Answer from: Quest

mountains can affect the climate of nearby lands. in some areas, mountains block rain, so that one side of a mountain range may be rainy and the other side may be a desert. much of airborne moisture falls as rain on the windward side of mountains.
