A squall is a wind-driven storm that is accompanied by a large amount of precipitation in a short time, over a small area. Microbursts are similar, but are the result of sinking air in an existing thunderstorm. They can feature precipitation in a small area, or they can be dry, tornado-like wind gusts.
The fastest form of erosion is typically considered to be mass wasting events such as landslides, rockfalls, or debris flows. These processes involve the rapid movement of large amounts of rock and soil downhill due to gravity, causing significant erosion in a short period of time.
Streams in deserts typically cause the most erosion during rare, high-intensity flash floods. These floods can carry and deposit large amounts of sediment, reshaping the landscape in a short period of time due to the sudden increase in water flow.
This type of storm is called a flash flood. It occurs when intense rainfall overwhelms the capacity of the local drainage system, leading to rapid flooding in low-lying areas. Flash floods can be extremely dangerous due to their sudden onset and swift rise in water levels.
Yes, 6-10 inches of rain is considered a significant amount. This much rain can lead to flooding, particularly if it falls over a short period of time in an area that is not equipped to handle large amounts of precipitation.
An example of a sudden geologic process is a volcanic eruption. These events can release massive amounts of lava, ash, and gases in a short period, causing rapid changes to the landscape and environment.
Binge-- To consume large amounts of food uncontrollably within a short time period.
To cover large amounts of ground in a short span of time.

Tropical storms can cause as much damage as hurricanes. Tropical storms are notorious for dumping large amounts of rain in a relatively short period of time which can lead to flooding.
Pure H2O, or water, is not toxic to humans when consumed in normal amounts. However, consuming extremely large quantities of water in a short period of time can lead to water intoxication, which can be dangerous.
Large returns in a short period of time
A desktop computer is not designed to withstand rough handling, while the desktop may withstand short drops a few large drops will likely damage the internal components of the computer and monitor.

No, drinking pure water in normal amounts will not kill you. However, consuming excessive amounts of water in a short period of time can lead to water intoxication, which can be fatal.
