(PDF) Exhibition consists of a set of connected wall panels of
different building materials in a mock "earthquake zone,"
setting the stage for all of the interactive components. The
Shake Table is freestanding; the rest of the exhibits are
attached to the wall panels. Try to replicate the motion of any
of three different historic earthquakes by bouncing up and down
on a platform; see your own seismogram on the monitor in real
time as you attempt to match the original seismogram. You'll
even get a score! How well did you do? How quickly can you
assemble a map of the Earth according to its plate tectonic
boundaries? Press the button to begin, then put the puzzle
pieces in place on the big panel. Hurry, you have two minutes
before the pieces fall! Plates in Motion Spin the dial and watch
stunning tectonic motion as the plates move around, break up and
reassemble. You can start at 600 million years ago, spin to the
present, and then go all the way to 2
