This schematic shows the formation of a fold caustic. (A) shows particle velocity as a function of position and no caustics, while (b) shows a situation where particles in the same position have different velocities where the line folds back – a characteristic that results in increased collisions and quick rain showers.

Cm-sized carbonate seafloor fans occur in the Neoproterozoic Rainstorm Member of the Johnnie Formation, Death Valley, USA. The fans formed in a mixed carbonate-clastic succession near storm wave base at the base of parasequences on a storm-dominated ramp. ... Although not directly dated, ...

As a process, it can move by formation and dissipation. What we see as a continuous convective storm can be the result of new cells forming on one flank of preceding cells, eventually becoming "the storm" as the older cells dissipate.

Rain is liquid precipitation, as opposed to other kinds of precipitation such as snow, hail and sleet. On Earth, it is the condensation of atmospheric water vapor into drops heavy enough to fall, oft...

Thus, floods in creeks and small rivers close to the river head (i.e. with a small catchment area) are characterised by faster runoff formation after heavy rainstorms and flood waves generated during or directly after the precipitation event.

The rivers will not be able to contain flood flow within its banks during heavy rainstorms. The existing drainage conditions are summarized in Table 2.1. ... The formation of flood plain flow area requires substantial land resumption.
