The power within

Volcano

The power within, the first of the planned exhibitions, will take visitors on an exploration of the internal structure of the Earth and of the dynamics of the Earth's crust - plate tectonics; the heart of the planet; inside a volcano; the nature of earthquakes; the building of mountains; sea-floor spreading; oceanic trenches; subduction zones and plate margins. The key objective is for visitors to discover the major processes at work within the Earth and learn how these are manifested and observed from the Earth's surface.
