Geophysical Simulations
Explore Earth's dynamic processes through 10 interactive simulations of plate tectonics, erosion, weather systems, ocean currents, volcanic activity, glaciers, earthquakes, and climate cycles.
Plate Tectonics
Watch continental drift driven by mantle convection cells beneath tectonic plates. See continents collide, separate, and create mountain ranges.
02Erosion Simulation
Hydraulic erosion carves valleys and rivers into a 3D heightmap terrain. Water flows downhill, carrying sediment and reshaping the landscape.
03Weather Fronts
Cold and warm air masses interact to create pressure systems, fronts, and precipitation patterns. Watch weather systems evolve in real-time.
04Ocean Currents
Visualize thermohaline circulation - the global conveyor belt driven by temperature and salinity differences that shapes Earth's climate.
05Volcanic Eruption
Particle-based simulation of pyroclastic flows, lava fountains, and ash clouds. Adjust eruption intensity and watch the volcanic spectacle.
06Glacier Dynamics
Ice sheet flow, accumulation zones, ablation, and calving events. See how glaciers shape valleys and respond to climate change.
07Earthquake Waves
P-waves, S-waves, and surface waves radiate from the epicenter. Interactive visualization of seismic wave propagation and ground motion.
08Water Cycle
Follow water through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. See the continuous movement of Earth's most vital resource.
09Carbon Cycle
Interactive Sankey diagram showing carbon flows between atmosphere, oceans, biosphere, and geosphere. Explore the global carbon budget.
10Milankovitch Cycles
Earth's orbital variations (eccentricity, obliquity, precession) that drive ice ages over thousands of years. See climate cycles emerge.
