The term -cloudburst7 Is a convenient

an the surface Of the earth Ia the
mountain region is made up either of
rocks or adobe soil. The latter. IN

to a sudden heavy downpour Of rain.
The consequence Is that the mountains
are cut up with arroyos, gullies ana
water courses. and in the course OF un-
numbered ages into mighty canyons

sually heavy rainfall the great mass Of
