A very diverse collection of life forms appeared around 544 Ma, starting in the latest Precambrian with a poorly understood small shelly fauna and ending in the very early Cambrian with a very diverse, and quite modern Burgess fauna, the rapid radiation of forms called the Cambrian explosion of life.

The extreme cooling of the global climate around 700 million years ago ( the so called Snowball Earth of the Cryogenian period ) and the rapid evolution of primitive life during the subsequent Ediacaran and Cambrian periods are often thought to have been triggered by the breaking up of Rodinia.

The Cambrian explosion is an apparently rapid increase in the variety of basic body structures of animals in the Early Cambrian period, starting after and finishing before.

Further examples of rapid evolutionary radiation can be observed among ammonites, which suffered a series of extinctions from which they repeatedly re-diversified ; and trilobites which, during the Cambrian, rapidly evolved into a variety of forms occupying many of the niches exploited by crustaceans today.

Ultraviolet ( UV ) light curing adhesives, also known as light curing materials ( LCM ), have become popular within the manufacturing sector due to their rapid curing time and strong bond strength.

These events are usually separated by periods of " normal " mood ; but, in some individuals, depression and mania may rapidly alternate, which is known as rapid cycling.

They established the principles and basic techniques of partition chromatography, and their work encouraged the rapid development of several chromatographic methods: paper chromatography, gas chromatography, and what would become known as high performance liquid chromatography.

Together they shared new approaches to art, painting the effects of light en plein air with broken color and rapid brushstrokes, in what later came to be known as Impressionism.

During the summer of 1989, rapid changes known as peaceful revolution or Die Wende took place in East Germany, which quickly led to German reunification.

The JPL Advanced Projects Design Team, also known as Team X, is an interdisciplinary team of engineers that " utilizes concurrent engineering methodologies to complete rapid design, analysis and evaluation of mission concept designs ".

Such mechanisms of rapid speciation can reflect a mechanism of evolutionary change known as punctuated equilibrium, which suggests that evolutionary change and in particular speciation typically happens quickly after interrupting long periods of stasis.

It is not known whether pterosaurs practiced any form of parental care, but their ability to fly as soon as they emerged from the egg and the numerous flaplings found in environments far from nests and alongside adults has led most researchers, including Christopher Bennett and David Unwin, to conclude that the young were dependent on their parents for a relatively short period of time, during a period of rapid growth while the wings grew long enough to fly, and then left the nest to fend for themselves, possibly within days of hatching.

Such compounds share with better known semiconductors intermediate conductivity and a rapid variation of conductivity with temperature, as well as occasional negative resistance.

The Tube map is a schematic transit map representing the lines and stations of London's rapid transit railway systems, namely the London Underground ( commonly known as the Tube, hence the name ), the Docklands Light Railway, London Overground and the Emirates Air Line cable car.

Some airfields now have a special surface known as soft concrete at the end of the runway ( stopway or blastpad ) that behaves somewhat like styrofoam, bringing the plane to a relatively rapid halt as the material disintegrates.

The inner portion of a growth ring is formed early in the growing season, when growth is comparatively rapid ( hence the wood is less dense ) and is known as " early wood " or " spring wood " or " late-spring wood ".
