Nice write up!

I made an interactive little tutorial on Apparent Dip a few weeks ago. Where you can play around with a cross-section through a dipping layer.

You have a much better explanation and derivation, but it is always nice to play around with this stuff in 3D to get a feel for it!

Our petrology course's term project is a detailed analysis of the history of Middle Earth. The professor even provided slides and chemical data to help make our maps. I had thought someone in our department had invented this years ago but I guess it's not so original after all!

@omeezy
"We are experiencing the dawn of unprecedent plate activity"

You have never been very interested in geology, right? You just like to read a few paranoid websites and convince yourself that all will end in December 2012, don't you?

For God's sake... stop saying silly things.

Omeezy, you are banned from this blog for insulting me. If you would read the comments of other people, you would see that I don't have any problem with other point of views. My only problem is your insults

I repeat, you are banned. Full stop.

Besides, the "little graphs", are not mine, they have been produced by USGS. Please, inform yourself and read before you create your own little story...

I delete comments that include spam links or insult others. Full stop. If you do any of these, it is your fault, not mine.

In general, I am very busy to discuss with trolls.

are you still deleting comments from people that disagree with you? obviously all your little graphs are not accurate. don't use 24-7 news cycle as an excuse. newspapers have been around 200+ years.

earthquake activity is up!!!! No doubting it.

I had a historical geology class from Robert Sloan during the summer of 79. Part of the take home exam was explaining the geologic history of middle earth... Don't know if he still is around or anyone has a copy.

I like very much yours pictures... They are a good example of the structural analysis in the outcropping.

I have been using Rowan's app for a while and I found it extremely useful, I think deeply from now towards future that app will evolve for great. Thanks and regards!

Yeah I've seen these in the field. There are some nice large scale ones in the French Alps too

Thanks Charles, the link has been fixed now.

OK great, I didn't see the "save" option come up but will look more closely for it. The site is a tremendous learning tool! Will definitely be working with this when I teach structural geology next semester.

Hey Charles,
Thanks for your comments, I am glad you liked it!

You can save your models that you create, each model has a unique link that will come up after you save it. You can share this link with anyone, or embed the model on your website.

You can browse all of the models by clicking "View Models" (under the geology tab) and searching for one or scroll to the bottom and click show more.

A better showcase will be coming soon!

Hope that helps...

Link to the website has an extra space, rendered in the link as an extra "%20" at the end of the url, causing it to be 404er'd.

Once I got there - WOW. This is awesome. I hoping there will be a library of models that can be searched/accessed somewhere, and that users will be able to save models they create. The ones that load on the home page seem to be random.
