Here you may just see what looks to be a rock but is realy a mineral. Calcite is an often unheard of mineral that most people don't know about yet it is still a mineral. Why would I take a picture of sand? The answer is that these are sediments. Sand is made up of smaller roocks that have been aquired in large amounts to form sediments. When there is a large group of these sediments they are called sediments.



This is a fossil. It is made up of no longer living organisms thatt have all been compressed together to form one rock with a bunch of different oganisms. There are seasons that are each 1/4 of the year long. Also 4 months long. We have these seasons because when the earth orbits the sun it is not straight up and down. It is tilted at a 23.5 degree angle towards the north star so when the nothern hemishere is pointed towards the sun the southern hemisphere ispointed away from the sun. Then when the earth keeps orbiting eventually the southern hmisphere is pointing towards the sun and the northern hemisphere is then pointing away.
