This project will be a project that will be used by Speleologist (cavers) to help aid in the mapping of the underground world. It will be simple at first.. only allowing the entry of survey (dist/azmith/V-angle) and give back a line plot..
PlaTec is a 2D terrain generator that uses a simplified model of plate tectonics to produce realistic heightmaps in real time.
The simulator starts with a flat fractal map and splits it randomly into plates. Plates are moved around the map. If continents of two plates collide, they fold creating mountain belts. If oceanic crust of one plate collides with another plate, subduction occurs resulting in coastal mountain ranges or island chains.
This project is part of my Bachelor of...
WW2D allows you to explore Earth using satellite imagery, topographic maps and image from other data sources also providing large placenames and boundaries database and allowing you to install community-made add-ons for even more info about our planet.
