Based on the direction of the prevailing wind, the sides of the mountain are classified into two classes, they are:

1. Windward side: this is the side of the mountain that faces the prevailing wind.

2. Leeward side: this is the side of the mountain that is sheltered from the wind by the mountain's elevation.
