Le temps profond accéléré : des plaques portées au fil des âges géologiques sur une surface déformable, rendant observable la lente mécanique d’une planète.
Des plaques portées au fil du temps géologique sur une surface déformable.
Erupt a volcano into being and watch its silhouette — broad shield or steep stratocone — fall straight out of its magma’s viscosity and gas.
Watch a river snake across its floodplain — bends grow where the current bites the outer bank, until a neck pinches shut and an oxbow lake is born.
Drag drifting plates to raise mountains, tear open rifts, and unleash earthquake blooms along living boundaries.
A box of rock heated from the core and chilled at the surface — buoyant plumes rise, slabs sink, and convection cells spread the plates above them.
Pour a river of ice down a V-cut valley and watch it grind the bedrock into the broad U-shape, cirques, and fjords that ice leaves behind.
Loose a million raindrops on a fractal mountain and watch them carve river valleys and braid ridgelines into existence.
Blow wind across a sheet of sand and watch ripples and crescent dunes self-organize out of nothing but slabs hopping downwind.
