  • Mudcracks in a variety of shapes and sizes are visible in the sediment at the base of Harris Wash in Utah. Mudcracks, also known as desiccation cracks, result when the top layer of sediment dries before lower layers. When the water in the top layer evaporates, the thin layer separates from the layers below. The loss of moisture also causes the layer to shrink somewhat, causing a strain that results in the cracks.

  • A boiling mudpot erupts at Sulphur Works in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California. Water from melting snow seeps into the ground above this mudpot, soaks through the soil and works down through cracks and fissures in the rock. Eventually, it touches hot rock and gasses in what used to be the main vent of Brokeoff Volcano, becomes superheated and returns to the surface as hot water or steam.

  • Steam rises from the water-filled Inferno Crater, located in the Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley near Rotorua, New Zealand. The terrace is part of a hydrothermal system in 1886 by the volcanic eruption of Mount Tarawera. Waimangu means 'black water' in Māori, the indigenous language of New Zealand. The area was given that name because its largest geyser erupted water that was filled with mud and rocks.

  • The track of an Allosaurus is left pressed into the sandstone near Potash, Utah. Scientists believe the dinosaur had an average length of nearly 30 feet. At the time dinosaurs roamed Utah, the area was marshy. Over time the mud that held their footprints turned to sandstone.

  • Five North American Beavers (Castor canadensis) rest on top of their lodge in North Creek, Bothell, Washington. Beavers, the largest rodent in North America, live in lodges that are designed to protect them from predators. The mud that holds the sticks together freezes like concrete, making the structure virtually impenetrable. During large winter floods, however, the beavers occasionally have to evacuate the lodge and rest on its roof until the flood waters recede.

  • Three white-faced ibis (Plegadis chihi) feed at the edge of a pond in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Oregon. Ibises forage in groups by walking slowly with their heads down, probing the mud with their long, curved bills.

  • Lassen Peak, a 10,457-foot (3,187-meter) volcano, in the Cascade Range in California, is lit by the first light of day in this aerial view over Lassen Volcanic National Park. Lassen Peak, also known as Mount Lassen, is an active volcano that last erupted in 1917. The area, however, is still volcanically active with hot springs, geysers and boiling mud pots. Lassen Peak itself stands near Mount Tehama, which was a stratovolcano that was once at least 1,000 feet taller than Lassen Peak is now. Mount Tehama is now known as Brokeoff Mountain, and is visible to the left of Lassen Peak in this image.

  • A killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) sits on her nest on the rocks in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. Killdeer, like other plovers, nest on the ground, such as this nest, built on a gravel bar along Mud Lake. When threatened, the killdeer tries to distract predators away from the nest, often by pretending it has a broken wing.

  • Hot Stream flows past the steaming hillside of the Cathedral Rocks in the Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley near Rotorua, New Zealand. Waimangu is a hydrothermal system created by the 1886 volcanic eruption of Mount Tarawera. Waimangu means 'black water' in Māori, the indigenous language of New Zealand, a name given to the area because water in its largest geyser often contains mud and rocks.

  • A Hawaiian stilt (Himantopus knudseni), also known as an Ae'o, is framed by grasses along the Kanaha Pond on the Hawaiian island of Maui. The stilt lives in shallow brackish ponds, mud flats and along shorelines, where it feeds on small invertebrates. The stilt is endangered, and the Kanaha Pond Wildlife Sanctuary was created to protect it and other animals.

  • A human hand provides a sense of scale for an allosaurus dinosaur track near Potash, Utah. Scientists believe the dinosaur had an average length of nearly 30 feet. The area was marshy when dinosaurs roamed Utah, and the muddy footprint eventually turned to sandstone. ...There are a number of dinosaur tracks found throughout Utah. The area was swampy when dinosaurs live there. They left footprints in the mud, which later turned into sandstone.
