Stone Sculpt at Cappadocia

Weathering, Erosion & Deposition Adventure Pack

Across the towering rock formations of Cappadocia, the landscape is shifting too fast.

Wind is carving stone at unnatural speeds. Water is transporting sediment beyond its normal pathways. Ice is cracking rock layers, and deposition patterns are forming in the wrong places. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the surface processes system and needs explorers to restore balance before the landforms permanently change.

In Stone Sculpt at Cappadocia, students are dropped into a high-stakes Earth science mission in one of the world’s most unique geological regions. By learning how weathering breaks down rock, how erosion moves sediment, and how deposition builds new landforms, explorers must stabilize the terrain and protect the landscape.

This adventure blends foundational Earth surface process concepts with story, exploration, and optional hands-on discovery.
