Abstract

Visualization is an essential skill in undergraduate geology courses as it is for expert geologists. Geology students and geologists must visualize the shape of the land from topographic maps, the three-dimensional geometry of geologic structures from limited exposures, and the geologic history recorded in sequences of layers and in natural landscapes. Interactive animations have proven successful in helping college students visualize the three-dimensional nature of geology. They permit interactions that are not possible with traditional, paper-based materials, are deliverable via the Internet, and can be imbedded in modules that embrace constructivist pedagogy.
