Interchange processes in the interstellar medium, which is composed of diffuse gas, small clouds and giant molecular clouds are examined. It is stressed that the formation of giant molecular clouds through gravitational instability of a cloud ensemble leads to periodic star formation. The evolution of galaxies with such periodic star formation episodes is studied, especially paying attention to the effect of gas infall.
