Some changes are due to slow processes, such as erosion and weathering, and some changes are due to rapid processes, such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes.
"1. moisture (water vapor) in the air near the surface
2. instability - relatively large decrease of air temperature with height
3. lift - some process (such as a front) that forces air to rise"
The air is dry during the summer and any moisture amount is increased in the afternoon as the temperature cools.
