Is "as shown follows " the right way to say it ? Here is a generic example: If X, then Y should be organized as shown follows : If it actually is ok, does it sound natural or should I replace it with Assume that " P " and " Q " are logic propositions. I want to say "Since Q is true, so P is true". I want to say this, like one of the two sentences below. Which one is true (better)? P follows by Q. P follows from Q. Thank you. Which word correctly follows "my fascination"?

Example: "Australia, a place of extreme and wild beauty, a land of drought followed by storm". The second sounds more like a statement of fact. "Day is followed by night, pain is followed by joy, drought is followed by storm". As for what comes first, 'followed by' indicates that the second item ('storm') comes after the first ('drought').
