Earth-science mini-interactives

Produced for Our Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh

Earthquake table

The soft green surface is vibrated electronically. First construct your building using the coloured wooden blocks. Different earthquake amplititudes can be selected by pressing and holding one of three buttons, until your building collapses.

Seismograph

This simple seismograph model leaves a glowing trail on a rotating disc. Gently shaking the table causes your 'earthquake' to be rcorded in the same way as a real seismograph.

Tornado cloud

At a height of only 600mm, this must be one of the smallest versions of this highly popular exhibit. The speed of the driving fan can be adjusted by turning a knob, producing a fascinating range of different effects.
