    In the same category, I once had a student who speculated that there were more precipitations over mountains because mountains needed water to grow faster…

      That’s so dumb. Mountains don’t “need” anything. The higher precipitation regions came first and the mountains are there because that allows them to grow faster, not the other way around.
