NOTE: We've guessed that
you're not using a client that supports colored tables and have tried
to compensate. Low graphics mode looks much better on clients that
do... we recommend switching to Netscape 3.0 or Microsoft Internet
Explorer.

Topography
forced lifting by the surface of the earth
Air is also lifted by the earth itself. When air encounters a
mountain range, for example, air is forced to rise up and over the mountains
and if enough lifting occurs,
water vapor condenses
to produce orographic clouds.
In the United States, the prevailing winds are generally
from west to east, so most
orographic clouds form on the western side of a mountain.
