About the Exhibit

Step into a hands-on exploration of two powerful forces shaping our planet: the movement of water through rocks and the seismic shifts of earthquakes. Discover how water moves through different types of rocks. In this interactive station, you’ll experiment with materials of varying porosity and permeability to see how they influence water flow. Watch the buildings shake and sway in the earthquake simulation. Watch how seismic waves move through different materials and see how different structures respond to the shaking ground.
