01 / Overview

The geological period when the Earth's surface is covered with large-scale glaciers is called the ice age or glacial period. The time scale of the Great Ice Age is at least millions of years, in addition to countless Little Ice Ages. During the glacial period, the movement and erosion of glaciers formed many geomorphic features on the surface, such as glacial valleys, glacial lakes, glacial moraines, etc. These geomorphic features have had a profound impact on the environment and ecosystem of the Earth. At the same time, the living environment of animals has undergone significant changes, such as the expansion of ice in the Arctic region leading to a decrease in the number of prey, making the living conditions of animals such as polar bears even more difficult. Plants, on the other hand, have developed a series of adaptive characteristics by adapting to cold and dry climates, such as the degeneration of broad-leaved trees into evergreen shrubs and herbaceous plants. The main factors leading to the Earth's Great Ice Age are the changes in solar radiation.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

The geological period when the Earth's surface is covered with large-scale glaciers is called the ice age or glacial period. The time scale of the Great Ice Age is at least millions of years, in addition to countless Little Ice Ages. The Neoproterozoic Ice Age: The Huron Ice Age, occurred between 2.4 billion and 2.1 billion years ago. The Pre Cambrian Great Ice Age, also known as the Ice Age, occurred between 850 million and 630 million years ago. Early Paleozoic Great Ice Age: The Andean Sahara Great Ice Age, from 460 million years ago to 430 million years ago. The Late Paleozoic Ice Age, also known as the Karoo Ice Age, occurred between 360 million and 260 million years ago. The Quaternary glaciation, also known as the Pleistocene glaciation, began in the late Pliocene 2.58 million years ago and continues to this day. The main factors leading to the Great Ice Age on Earth include changes in solar radiation, carbon cycling, variations in Earth's orbital parameters, and large-scale volcanic eruptions. However, the formation of the Great Ice Age remains a complex issue.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
