Imagine following a drop of rain from a mountain in Dominica to the Caribbean Sea. At first, the river is small but powerful, cutting down into rock. Later, it starts to swing side to side, carving wider valleys. By the time it reaches the lowlands, it slows down and spreads out, building flat land where people often farm and build towns.
