Revere’s center stands about 1,140 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,070 ft to 1,220 ft, a difference of 150 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Undifferentiated (conglomerate, sandstone, mudstone), from the Late Cretaceous, 72 to 100 million years old.
The section below crosses 2 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 47×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Conglomerate, sandstone, mudstone. Age: Late Cretaceous, 72 to 100 million years old. About 21 mi of the line.
Quartzite, mudstone. Age: Paleoproterozoic, 1.6 to 2 billion years old. About 4 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Revere reaches the Gulf of America by way of Pell Creek, the Cottonwood, the Minnesota and the Mississippi: about 2,050 river miles.
Lake on the way: Lake Pepin.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Revere; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Revere has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 82° in July; winter nights fall to about 5° in January. A normal year brings about 46 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 29 inches of water.
On November 14 Revere normally reaches 43° and falls to 24°. The record high is 79°, in 1999; the record low −3°, in 1986. The most rain on this date, 0.29 in, fell in 2024.
