- Leeward sides receive little rainfall leading to dry climate
- The top of block mountains have cool/cold climate because temperatures decrease with increase in height
- The top of Block Mountains have lower pressure while lower parts have higher atmospheric pressure
- Leeward sides receive little rainfall leading to dry climate
