where is great wall of china

china

The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials, generally built along an east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China in part to protect the Chinese Empire or its prototypical states against intrusions by various nomadic groups or military incursions by various warlike peoples or forces. Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century BC; these, later joined together and made bigger and stronger, are now collectively referred to as the Great Wall.

why do mountains affect weather

the tip of a mountain


 Mountains:

There are two sides: wayward and leeward.
Wayward: Whenever it is raining, the wayward side gets the rain so there is good soil most of the time. But as the cloud goes up the mountain, it keeps raining until soon there is no more water in the cloud.
Leeward: Now the cloud is at the other side of the mountain. There is no more precipitation so the leeward side of the mountain gets no rain so the flat ground on this side of the mountain is dry and humid.
