The Gulf Stream.
The Gulf Stream?
The economy of Mexico has been helped or hindered by climate. For example, the Chihuahuan desert in the north is the result of a 'rain shadow' effect induced by the Sierra Madre mountain range. This has limited agriculture to small fertile pockets within Mexico, which cover only 12-17% of Mexico's territory.
A rain shadow is a dry area on the leeward side of a mountain, caused by moisture being blocked by the mountain range. In the western United States, the rain shadow effect is prominent due to the prevailing westerly winds. This results in wetter conditions on the windward side of the mountains and drier conditions on the leeward side, affecting the climate by creating desert regions like the Great Basin and the Mojave Desert.

The Gulf of Mexico does not have any effect on the climate of Ohio. It can alter the climate of places such as Florida or other states nearby, but Ohio is just affected by the Great Lakes and other rivers that are closer.
The Gulf Stream comes from the Gulf of Mexico, not the US. It makes the weather of Western Europe significantly warmer. Most of Europe is about 15 F warmer than areas of the same latitude.

The leeward side of a mountain is typically drier and experiences a rain shadow effect, where the air loses moisture as it rises and cools over the mountain, leading to less precipitation. In contrast, the windward side of a mountain is usually wetter due to orographic lifting, where air is forced to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in more rainfall or snowfall.

The climate at the bottom of the leeward side of a mountain is typically dry and warmer compared to the windward side. This is because the air descending down the mountain warms and dries out, creating a rain shadow effect. As a result, these areas often experience less precipitation and can be more arid.
