Observations made before aind after a catastrophic storml support the conclutsion that caves receivinig storm recharge may be significantly developed in the vadose zone by the processes of niass transfer. These processes are greatly accelerated during times of major floods. Evidence indicates that in ancient times floods of similar magnitude have occurred.
灾难性风暴前后的观测结果支持这样的结论,即接受风暴补给的洞穴可能会在包气带中通过质量转移过程得到显著发育。这些过程在大洪水时期会大大加速。有证据表明,在古代曾发生过类似规模的洪水。
