Geosphere #12

Open redferret opened 7 years ago

The Geosphere needs to be able to do the following

  1. Plate Tectonics
  2. Rock Formation (Sediment to Sedimentary) and (Sedimentary to Metamorphic) etc.
  3. Add to either the GeoCell or Stratum the ability to have ground water.
  4. Movement of groundwater - May need to implement a design that can easily move water based on how much water is in a layer and what layers can have water. For instance solid rock isn't solid, it's mostly cracked allowing water to quickly move through and into other sedimentary layers that act as a slow absorbing sponge.
  5. Volcanic Activity due to hot intrusive rocks or extrusive volcanic activity.

  1. Plate Tectonics The plate tectonics model will be simple but it will follow basic physical laws such as conservation of energy, inelastic collisions, thrust faults and normal faults.

The simulation will simulate the flow of magma below the surface in a circular area, from there the plate will be assigned a cell. The plate can transfer energy into other cells if a threshold is met, cells will be removed from plate movement.
