All of the above
Cool air descending from the summit warms, picking up moisture as it travels.
Warm air cools as it rises and can't hold as much moisture.
Mountain trap fog and cloud input, thus reducing rainfall at sea level.

Rainforest and cloud forest in the tropics occur where heating of ascending air laden with water vapor produces heavy rainfall at low and middle elevations
Rainy seasons occur in the tropics when the sun is directly overhead and most intense heating occurs
Two belts of dry climates encircle the earth where cool dry air descends from the upper atmosphere (horse latitudes between 30 and 40 degrees both N and S)
Most of the worlds deserts lie in these two belts
The mojave, Sonoran and Chiluahuan deserts are found in North America while the Sahara desert is found in North Africa and the Arid Zone is found in Australia
