    The question is incomplete. teh complete question is:

    Match each phrase with the description of how it affects precipitation

    1. prevailing winds - a. blow mainly in one direction and move huge

    air masses

    2. seasonal winds - b. blow in opposite direction of normal winds

    and cause droughts in winter

    3. mountain ranges - c. force coastal air masses to rise, cool, and

    form rain clouds

    What's the match?

    Answer:

    1. - a.

    2. - c.

    3. - b.

    Explanation:

    1. Prevailing winds are defined as the winds that blow from a single direction over a specific area of the Earth. Prevailing winds blow east-west only because Earth's rotation generates Coriolis effect which allow wind systems to move clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.

    2. Seasonal winds allows the changes in weather pattern. Seasonal winds make continous rise of moist wind from coatsal areas to the upper layers of the atmosphere and then cool down forming clouds and when clouds no longer able to hold moisture, they get precipitated.

    3. In Mountain ranges winds blow in opposite direction that includes wind blows uphill (valley breeze) and downhill (mountain breeze) at night. mountain breez is cause of global warming that leads to drought and excessive evaporation.

    Hence, the correct matches are 1. - a., 2. - c. and 3. - b.
