Why are experimental investigations the best type of
scientific investigation to demonstrate cause-and-effect
relationships?

Experimental investigations are the best type of scientific research to demonstrate the relationships between cause and effect because they allow the investigator to actively manipulate variables and control conditions. This change can be measured to gather evidence to back up or refute the relationship between cause and effect.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
