Tectonics Model
About this item
This Tectonics Model demonstrates the principle of superposition and the concepts of transgression, regression, and compression.
Provides dramatic visualization of faults
- Students calculate as they recreate tectonic compression
- Instructions included
- Teacher developed
- Aligned to NGSS standards (MS/HS: ESS1, ESS2)
Add a new quantitative dimension to tectonics demonstrations with this innovative device. When using this box, pressure is applied with a screw mechanism that measures equal increments of force over distance. Students can simulate folding, faulting, and mountain building.
Accessories information: Replacement sediments available.
