Volcano Core
Volcano Core
VentCore Magma Forge is an interactive igneous-petrology workbench that turns volcanic rock science into hands-on simulation: users mix magma oxide chemistry, watch minerals crystallize along Bowen's Reaction Series under different cooling rates, trigger illustrated eruption-style animations from viscosity and gas data, and browse a rich seeded atlas of real rock specimens and volcano architectures — all as a self-contained educational physics sandbox with zero reliance on live location or real-time hazard data.

Highlights
Magma Composition Forge: drag six oxide sliders …
Magma Composition Forge: drag six oxide sliders (SiO2, Al2O3, FeO, MgO, CaO, Na2O+K2O) to plot a live point on a TAS (Total Alkali-Silica) diagram built with Charts, instantly naming the resulting rock type (basalt, andesite, dacite, rhyolite) and rendering a glowing magma-color and viscosity preview
Crystallization Cooling Simulator: slide a cooli…
Crystallization Cooling Simulator: slide a cooling-rate dial from slow plutonic to fast volcanic to watch an animated Bowen's Reaction Series sequence crystallize minerals in order and reveal the resulting texture — phaneritic, porphyritic, aphanitic, or glassy
Eruption Style Predictor: combine viscosity and …
Eruption Style Predictor: combine viscosity and dissolved-gas sliders to trigger an illustrated eruption animation (effusive lava flow, Strombolian fountain, Vulcanian burst, Plinian column) clearly labeled as an educational physics simulation, not a real-world forecast
Rock Specimen Atlas: browse 45 seeded igneous an…
Rock Specimen Atlas: browse 45 seeded igneous and volcanic rock cards (obsidian, pumice, scoria, tuff, basalt, rhyolite and more) each with hand-styled texture art, formation story, mineral breakdown, and hardness and density stats
Volcano Type Comparison Deck: flip through cross…
Volcano Type Comparison Deck: flip through cross-section cards for shield, stratovolcano, cinder cone, caldera, and lava-dome volcanoes, comparing typical eruption style, slope profile, and classic historical examples as static reference facts
Build-the-Volcano Cross-Section: drag labeled pa…
Build-the-Volcano Cross-Section: drag labeled parts — magma chamber, conduit, vent, ash column, lava flow — onto a blank cross-section until every layer is correctly placed, with instant glowing visual feedback on correct placement
