Devonian Time

I'm going back to the Devonian period. For animals there were tetropods, anthropods, brachriopods, and crinoids. There weren't very many plants because Iowa was under water during this time but there were a couple I found: Zosterophyllophytes, Trimerophytes, and Archaeopteris. Like I said earlier, Iowa is all under water; it's also quite warm but the climates change from around 86˚ to 9˚then back up to warmer weather. The fish might change when the climates do. Like they might have to move to other places or adapt to the new cold front. I wouldn't be able to survive unless I changed into some type of fish since everything is underwater. I would have to grow fins and all of the stuff fish have and probably have to change my eating habits.

I worked alone. I learned that Iowa was underwater, the different climate changes, and, a random fact, it was named after Devon, England. I knew the different plants, and the diversity of animals. I don't really understand how all of Iowa was underwater, because if it was wouldn't everything else have to be underwater too?
