RAKU series, volume 16

CHIRAKU

Plate tectonics, seismic waves, epicenter location, volcanic eruption, lava flow, earth interior, and geomagnetism — seven earth-science simulations in four phases each.

Seven simulations

Plate Tectonics

Three boundary types (divergent, convergent, transform) evolve to real-world landforms: Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Japan Trench arc, and the San Andreas Fault.

Seismic Waves

P-waves and S-waves radiate from the hypocenter; three stations build up a seismogram in real time.

Epicenter Location

The Omori formula converts a P-S time difference into a hypocentral distance; three circles meet at the epicenter.

Volcanic Eruption

Magma viscosity and gas content drive four styles in succession: Hawaiian, Strombolian, Vulcanian, and Plinian.

Lava Flow

A viscous fluid flows down terrain. Cooled segments turn black behind the glowing front. Lower viscosity gives a longer runout.

Earth Interior

Four concentric layers and the seismic ray paths. The S-wave shadow zone proves the outer core is liquid.

Geomagnetism

Earth's dipole field, the magnetosphere that deflects the solar wind, and the long-term geomagnetic reversal.

Highlights

Four-phase progression

"Initial — forming — developing — final" is always visible at the top. You can see exactly what is happening and where it is headed.

Real-world endpoints

Each final phase shows a real geological feature or canonical observation, anchoring the simulation in textbook reality.

Labeled visuals

Every plate, layer, trench, fault, hypocenter, and field line is labeled in Japanese.

Physics references

Built-in formula sheets: Omori's formula, Green's law, Snell's law, dipole field, and more.

Clean UI

Material Design 3. Speed slider, previous/next phase buttons, light and dark themes.
