Dust Across the Sky
Open to everyone until Friday, October 2
To keep it, print it while it is open.
A huge cloud of dust can block sunlight for many months. Without enough light, plants die, and animals that eat plants or other animals run out of food.
In the picture
- A thick dust cloud: it covers the sky and blocks most sunlight.
- A wilted fern: it droops because it cannot make enough food without light.
- A tree with shriveled leaves: its leaves dry out and fall as light fades.
- A large dinosaur: it searches a dim landscape for plants or prey as food becomes scarce.
Examples
- After a big volcano, ash in the sky can make skies dim and cool for a while.
- If a room plant is kept in a dark closet, its leaves turn yellow and it stops growing.
Key takeaways
- Dust in the air can dim sunlight for months.
- When plants struggle, the animals that depend on them also struggle.
