Reinberger Hall of Earth & Planetary Exploration November 17, 2008

From the formation of the universe to a timeline of the development of life on Earth, this interactive gallery integrates geology and astronomy. Soar through the solar system, feel the rumbling of an earthquake and touch real volcanic rock. Choose ingredients, time, temperature and pressure to cook up some rocks of your own on a computer screen. Watch a cavern being created by the slow drip of underground water, touch real stalactites and stalagmites, investigate Ohio's rocks and learn how glaciers sculpted our landscape.
