This is true in the Southern as well as in the Northern Hemisphere, as may be seen by reference to the chart. Aside from these general laws relating to rainfall in the several zones, there are other influences at work in different regions of the earth which serve to increase or to diminish the deposit of moisture. Influence of the Andes. * — The Andes lie directly across the path of the trade winds which follow their eastern slopes upward from the warm plains to cooler and cooler regions, until... the snowy peaks are reached. On their course the moisture of the winds is condensed and falls in vast quantities, giving rise to the great streams which unite to form the Amazon. On the western side of the Andes is a long, rainless belt, made so by the mountains on the east, which have left little moisture in the air. Further south, in the region of the return trades, the winds blow from the Pacific, and the moisture falls on the western slopes of the Andes, while the plains to the east are dry and parched.
