📖 Your Story
You are a junior geologist assigned to study rock breakdown and soil erosion in the diverse landscapes of India, from the Aravalli ranges to the coastal areas of Kerala, documenting traditional conservation methods.
What You'll Learn
- Differentiate between weathering and erosion, and identify the three types of weathering.
- Understand the impact of erosion on human occupations such as agriculture and construction.
- Recognize traditional Indian water and soil management systems like the Zabo system.
How to Play
1Observe the simulated rock formations and select the correct weathering process (physical, chemical, or biological) acting on them.
2Analyze the impact of different erosional agents (water, wind, ice, waves) on human occupations like farming.
3Study the traditional Zabo system of Nagaland and Sindhu-Sarasvati techniques to understand soil conservation.
4Complete all missions by answering the field questions correctly to earn your Senior Geologist badge.
