Putting together continental fragments using fossil tracks
🟤 Cynognathus 🟢 Glossopteris 🟠 Lystrosaurus 🟣 Mesosaurus Move the continents so that the fossil distributions connect into one continuous pattern. Can all the continents be joined together into a single landmass? Distribution of Fossils The … more
Seismic wave observation and the discovery of the outer core
Seismic Wave Observations and the Discovery of the Outer Core The process by which Earth’s internal structure—especially the existence of the outer core—was revealed through seismic wave observations is a major discovery in Earth science. When … more
Rock and Mineral Classification (AI Image Analysis)
Notes This program is a rock and mineral classification program utilizing artificial intelligence image analysis. When you take a photo of a rock on-site with a camera, the AI analyzes the image and identifies the types … more
Continental Drift (Continental Drift Theory)
Move the continents to create a connected supercontinent (Pangea).
Seismic Wave
Investigation inside the Earth The surest way to see what the Earth is like is to penetrate and see it yourself. However, there is a limit to penetration because the temperature and pressure rise as you … more
Stratum Making
About this simulation, When you press the button, you can see the corresponding strata. Combining the layer, you can create a variety of stratum. This simulation is presented as a mathematical model. Actual strata may be … more
Classification of igneous rocks
Igneous rocks are rocks formed from molten magma. The material is made liquid by the heat inside the Earth’s mantle. Igneous rock occurs in two ways. Slow cooling: Igneous rock formed from magma that has become … more
Formation Model of Columnar Joint
Formation of Columnar Joint A columnar joint appears as a polyhedral pillar, such as a tetragonal, pentagonal, or hexagonal shape. Its shape depends on the rate at which the lava solidifies. Columnar joints are often mistakenly … more
Seismometer and Inertia
Inertia When the bus starts suddenly, the body momentarily leans backward. On the other hand, when the bus stops, the body is leaned forward. This is due to the nature of the object to maintain its … more
Epeirogenic movement
Epeirogenic movement(Epeirogeny) It is a phenomenon that the crust is slowly rising or sinking over a wide range. The crust rests on a dense mantle and balances forces. Therefore, when the high part of the crust … more
