Fossils in Utah
Impression Fossils-Thin plants or animals die in sediment and rot leaving behind a dark print of an organism.
Preserved- Kept from harm or change.
Replacement - Organisms hard pard are replace by minerals
Rock Song (row, row, row your boat)
Sedimentary Rocks have been formed in layers
Often found near water sources with fossils from decayers
Then there’s igneous rocks here since earth was born
Molten lava cooled and hardened that’s how they were formed
These two types of rocks can also be transformed
With Pressure heat and chemicals metamorphic they become.

Erosion is the movement of the broken pieces of rock that have been caused by weathering. Water, wind and gravity transport these pieces of rock away from the site of erosion. Think of a broom when you hear the work "erosion. A broom sweeps away dirt and moves it to a new location just like erosion moves rock.
Once wind and water slow down and can't carry as much sediment, the sediment is deposited or dropped in landforms. One way to help prevent erosion is planting plants. A plant's roots grab dirt and hold it in place.
Weathering is the process where rock is worn away and is broken into smaller pieces. Think of a hammer when you hear the words weathering. A hammer can shatter or break many things with the right force. Rain and wind act like a hammer on the earth's surface which causes weathering.
There are different kinds of weathering. Chemical weathering decomposes or decays rocks and minerals. An example of chemical weathering is acid rain dissolving limestone. Physical weathering breaks up rock. One example is when water seeps into rocks cracks and freezes. The water expands and over time breaks rock into smaller pieces. Another example is when wind blow sand against rock. The sand wears the rock away. Ocean waves can also cause physical weathering when waves crash into rocks. Biological weathering is when plant break up rocks with their growing roots. Once rock has been broken and weakened by weathering, it is ready for erosion.

A warm front is when warm air moves in and over cold air, stratus clouds form, followed by a light rain.
A stationary front is when warm and cold air meet and stand still at the boundary
A Cold front is when cold air moves in and pushes warm air up, cumulus clouds form, followed by a quick storm.
Collection This is when water that falls from the clouds as rain, snow, hail or sleet, collects in the oceans, rivers, lakes, streams.
Runoff is the draining away of water from the surface of an area of land.
Transpiration is the process where plants absorb water through their roots and the give off water vapor through their leaves.
Percolation moves downward through openings in the soil to replenish aquifers under the ground.
Groundwater is water held underground in the soil or in pores and crevices in rock.
Water Cycle Song
I want to follow water cycle
I think about it when it flows in
I wanna let the sun control
'Cause every time that it gets closer,
sun pulls it up to make evaporation,
And water vapor filters out the garbage
the garbage, yeah
Oh it starts shaking
It moves up to condensation
It turns back into liquid
Baby, there's nothing holding it back
Water goes places because of precipitation
falls as rain, hail, sleet or snow.
Baby, it's falling quickly down.
Water run off into lakes
we call that collection
but sometimes it doesn't wait
Water go down to percolation
sun pulls it up to make transpiration,
And water vapor filters out the garbage
the garbage, yeah
Oh it starts shaking
It moves up to condensation
As dew, clouds, fog and frost
Baby, there's nothing holding it back
Water goes places because of precipitation
falls as rain, hail, sleet or snow.
Baby, it's falling quickly down.
'Cause if we lost the water cycle
and they took it far away
No we'd not be alright
no we would not be alright
If the water cycle were gone,
we would stumble and die
No we'd not be alright
no we would not be alright
Cause if we lost the water cycle
and they took it far away
No we'd not be alright
no we would not be alright
If the water cycle were gone,
we would stumble and die
No we'd not be alright
no we would not be alrightt
Oh it starts shaking
It moves up to condensation
It turns back into liquid
Baby, there's nothing holding it back
Water goes places because of precipitation
falls as rain, hail, sleet or snow.
Baby, it's falling quickly down.
I feel so free when when the water cycle's with me
Baby, there's nothing holding me back

Wetland environment is found near or on the banks of a natural water course. This could be streams, rivers, lakes and tide waters. These environments are found on the highest mountain tops and the lowest valleys. It surrounds the ponds, rivers, streams and "wetlands" in other biomes. These are all places where the precipitation collects. There are many kinds of riparian environments found in Utah, and the plant and animal life vary with each system. It seems that everyone wants to live near one. Plants can get water more easily when they are near the water, whereas animals often come to these places to drink. The water is filled with plant and animal life such as algae, fish, frogs and water fowl. Even people want to live near water. Think about it! There are so many different types of water environments in Utah that it would be difficult to list all of the plants and animals found. The largest riparian area in Utah is the shoreline around the Great Salt Lake. Here we find the nesting ground of the white pelicans and plovers. The Farmington Bay and Ogden Bird Refuges are found here.
Forests
Coniferous Trees - Pinyon pine, Douglas Fir, Utah Juniper, Blue Spruce (Evergreens)
Deciduous Trees - Quaking Aspen, Cottonwood, Oak, Willow, (Change color and lose leaves)
Forest Animals: Frog, Moose, Elk, Grey Squirrel, blue jay, cottontail rabbit, mule deer,
Forest Plants: scrub oak, pinyon pine, quaking aspen, rattlesnake, red fox, spruce, robin, Cooler, Wetter, Higher Elevations. Land covered with trees.
Deserts
Deserts are extremely dry. The annual rainfall (precipitation) of a desert is less that 25 cm. (10 inches). You may think that all deserts are hot, but there are two types of deserts: "hot" (mojave) deserts and "cold" deserts (cooler temps-most of precipitation in snowfall).
Animals: road runner, desert tortoise, horned toad, turkey vulture, kangaroo rat, and sidewinder rattlesnake, spiders, insects, birds. Cold desert animals include: the badger, bald eagle, bison, coyote, gopher snake, antelope, jackrabbit, mule deer and prairie dogs.
Plants: pinyon pine, sagebrush, Utah Juniper, Joshua tree, yucca, and cactus. Cold desert plants Plants that live in the cold desert include the sego lily (Utah's state flower), bitterbrush, rabbit brush, and sage brush, and various types of grasses.
Adaptations
Plants and animals adapt to allow them to live in these extreme conditions. Many animals conserve energy by sleeping in underground burrows during the day when it is very hot and hunt for food at night. Insects and spiders that live in the desert have thick, hard body exteriors that help maintain their body temperatures. Reptiles have scales which keep in moisture.
Many plants grow in just the few weeks during the rainy season. They produce seeds quickly and then they die. Other plants have shallow root systems that soak up water quickly after a rainstorm. Still other plants have very deep roots that can reach water deep within the ground. Plants in the desert often have a waxy coating to reduce water loss. Cacti have needle-like leaves to protect against water loss.
