	Desert rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Desert Rock is a term given to several bands that hail from the California desert.
		A sub-genre of desert rock is robot rock, a phrase coined by Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age.
		The term was previously applied, in the 1980s, to a kind of psychedelic country-flavored punk music generally evocative of the desert's dry open spaces, often characterized by epic instrumental passages and lyrically populated with drifters, eccentrics and other people living on the margins.

	Rock and roll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rock and roll (also spelled rock 'n' roll, especially in its first decade), is a genre of music that emerged as a defined musical style in American South in the 1950s, and quickly spread to the rest of the country, and the world.
		Rock and roll emerged as a defined musical style in America in the 1950s, though elements of rock and roll can be heard in rhythm and blues records as far back as the 1920s.
		Early rock and roll combined elements of blues, boogie woogie, jazz and rhythm and blues, and is also influenced by traditional Appalachian folk music, gospel and country and western.

	Analysis of the Petroglyphs
		Rocks with petroglyphs are scattered throughout the valley, some in groupings that appear aligned with points in the mountainous surroundings, others placed in seemingly random locations.
		The coating is sometimes known as desert varnish or patina and is commonly composed of iron and manganese oxides that form slowly over geologic time." The designs vary—some are complicated and hard to distinguish, while others seem to be obvious depictions of people or animals.
		Thus, one cross could represent the rock art site and the other could represent the water source, in which case the hands would depict that the area was holy due to the proximity of water.

	HOHOKAM ROCK ART -- DESERT FARMERS AT THE RIVERS EDGE
		Petroglyphs are images pecked into the rock by hammerstones and are the most common type of rock art produced by the Hohokam.
		Rock art took a considerable amount of time and energy to produce, and some panels of rock art are in practically inaccessible areas high on cliff walls or in caves.
		This would suggest that the rock art left by the Hohokam was something more than just a means of keeping hands busy, but had a special significance for them.

		The tortoise is basically a tropical animal whose ancestors evolved in tropical deciduous forests long before the North American deserts formed in the Miocene (15-8 million years ago).
		Diets were studied through the analyses of their scat and reveal that tortoises eat a great variety of plants from annuals to trees, shrubs, and cacti.

	Desert Rock Climbing - Moab Cliffs and Canyons
		Hiring a climbing guide is one of the best ways to develop specific skills, climb many routes in a day, try rock climbing for the first time, or just get to know an area new to you.
		This fun introduction to desert rock climbing allows you to learn the essentials, while still providing ample time to ascend the walls and get a feel for the local rock.
		Mileage on the rock is the main focus of this day; we believe that a low client-to-guide ratio and much on-rock experience with a knowledgeable instructor speeds up the learning process and increases the confidence in ones' climbing skills.
