📖 Your Story

You are a junior scientist at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) analyzing data from the latest Earth observation satellite. Your mission is to understand the structure of the Earth and the movement of tectonic plates to help predict geological changes.

What You'll Learn

  • Identify the three main layers of the Earth: crust, mantle, and core.
  • Understand the structure of the lithosphere and asthenosphere.
  • Explain the theory of plate tectonics and identify major tectonic plates.
  • Describe how convection currents in the mantle cause the movement of tectonic plates.

How to Play

1Analyze the satellite cross-section data to identify the different layers of the Earth.
2Review the global plate mapping system to identify the major tectonic plates.
3Observe the thermal imaging data to understand how convection currents drive plate movement.
4Complete all data analysis missions to finalize your geological report.
