→‎Geography and Ecology: Changed precentage to partial pressure. They are very closely related, but partial pressure is what matters when you are looking at how much of a certain element or compound there is, as it takes into account the atmospheric pressure/density as well. Thus it finds a more accurate quantity.

The rainwater in highstorms is laced with a sort of slurry called [[crem]]. When crem dries, it hardens into rock. Since the highstorms always sweep from east to west, crem builds up on the eastern side of anything that stays still and isn't regularly cleaned. Over time, the continent is very slowly shifting across the planet as the highstorms cause erosion of the western part and a build up on the eastern part.{{wob ref|4422}} This rainwater is full of nutrients, and plants given it fare better than those given water from other sources, such as lake or river water. Various cremlings search out and eat plants as they lap up the stormwater.{{book ref|sa4|11}}
