Biomagnification Simulator
DESCRIPTION
Introduce a trace amount of a persistent toxin like DDT into an aquatic ecosystem and watch as the concentration multiplies exponentially up the food chain to the apex predator.
RELATED VISUALIZATIONS
Nuclear Fission Reactor
Operate a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR). Control the fission chain reaction using control rods and monitor core temperatures to prevent a nuclear meltdown.
Plate Tectonic Boundaries
Examine tectonic plate interactions. Select Divergent, Convergent, or Transform boundaries to visualize mantle convection driving lithospheric drift.
El Niño & La Niña (ENSO)
Analyze the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Toggle between Normal, El Niño, and La Niña phases to observe shifting trade winds, ocean temperatures, and upwelling.
Atmospheric Circulation
Observe global wind patterns across the Earth's cross-section. Toggle the Coriolis effect to see how the Earth's rotation deflects the Trade Winds and Westerlies within the Hadley, Ferrel, and Polar cells.
