Geology Simulations

The Earth is a complex, dynamic planet that has changed continually since
its origin some 4.6 billion years ago. The following simulations will
enhance your understanding of a variety of geologic events and concepts like
the formation of Andesitic volcanoes, age relationship of rock layers,
hydrologic cycle, plate tectonics, and much more.

To view these simulations, you will need to have Flash Player loaded onto
your computer.
