Petrology is the branch of geology that studies the origin, composition, distribution, and structure of rocks. By examining mineralogy, texture, and chemical signatures, petrologists reconstruct the pressure–temperature histories that formed igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks — revealing billions of years of planetary evolution.
These simulations let you crystallize magma in a cooling chamber, push rocks through metamorphic facies, transport sediment down river channels, identify minerals under polarized light, and trace material through the complete rock cycle — all with real-time interactive controls and physically grounded models.
