Climate Change - High-Adventure Science Interactive
Climate Change - High-Adventure Science Interactive
What is the relationship between CO2 and water vapor and atmospheric temperature? Discover how the CO2 level in the ocean and amount of water vapor in the air change as the temperature changes. See how ice growth and ice melting continue once started. Use this model to explore feedback in Earth's climate system, and how they are related to climate change over time.

Hydraulic Fracturing - High-Adventure Science Interactive
Drill wells in search of natural gas. Drill through the aquifer (represented by the blue layer) until you find the shale layer (a pale brown layer). Can you be sure you located a large amount of trapped methane? Were you able to drill without contaminating the aquifer? If not, where did the contaminants come from?

Hurricane Dynamics | My NASA Data
Hurricanes are large, swirling storms with winds of 119 kilometers per hour (74 mph) or higher. That's quicker than a cheetah can run which is the fastest animal on land. They are said to be the most violent storms on Earth. These storms are also called by other names, such as typhoons or cyclones, depending on where they occur.

Volcanic Eruptions | My NASA Data
Volcanoes are windows into the interior of the Earth. Through subtle changes and dramatic explosions, they intrigue scientists and often strike fear into societies. Lava flows, pyroclastic flows, and lahars pose great risk to those living in the proximity of a volcano, while large explosive eruptions can affect the entire planet by filling the atmosphere with ash and sulfate particles thereby modify the global climate.
