The grid is projected onto the sand, where the highest regions are highlighted with red and the lowest with green.

In this mode, the sand is colored according to the height, where the lower parts are blue and the highest are red. The mode is great for learning the colors used on the world maps – why the highest mountains are often colored this way, where they are situated in the world. It helps reading maps more efficiently and engages interest in the nature. The Cartography mode boosts child’s visual and creative thinking.

Includes highlighting by the height, as well as an option to create an interactive volcano. To create a volcano, build a high mountain with round top and create a vent. The volcano erupts realistic lava that flows down the slope and gathers in the plains. This process is very entertaining and colorful and can be used for learning the nature of magma, lava and rifts in the earth core.

Waterfall

To create a waterfall put out your hand above the sand and spread your fingers. The waterfall appears in the form of water flowing through the shadow of your hand – it flows down the hills and gathers in the plains. You can simulate mountain rivers, water reservoirs, floods and dam breaks. Water is very physically realistic, as it sparkles and flows like real water would.

This mode replicates the living and breathing ocean. Exotic fish and sharks swim in the water, crabs and turtles roam through beaches, corals flourish on the ocean floor, palms and other trees grow on islands. Every animal has its own habitat and behavior. Days are changed by nights – animals are highlighted and shadows grow on land.
