Origin of the Earth
A model illustrating the stages of Earth’s formation typically begins with the primordial accretion of dust and gas around 4.6 billion years ago, leading to the formation of a molten planet. As the planet cooled, a solid crust formed, followed by the development of oceans and the early atmosphere. The model may then depict the formation of the first continents through volcanic activity and tectonic processes. Over time, the gradual development of complex life forms and the stabilization of climate conditions contributed to the Earth as we know it today.

Folds & Faults
A model depicting folds and faults in land illustrates how tectonic forces shape the Earth’s crust. Folds, such as anticlines and synclines, form when rock layers are compressed and bend without breaking. Faults, including normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults, occur when rocks fracture and slip due to tectonic stress. The model helps visualize these geological processes and their effects on landscapes, showing how mountain ranges, valleys, and other landforms are created and modified over time.
