Keywords:precise geological model, education at schools, lessons about Geo-visualization, spirit of inquiry, educational opportunity

In 2013, a precise geological model of this region was created with the help of a scientist. This model has mainly been utilized in schools to develop various lessons about Geo-visualization.The point of this project is not simply to reveal this regions geological features; rather, it aims to awaken the children spirit of inquiry and provide them with the educational opportunity to experience surprise and discovery. We will now present an example of how this geological model was utilized and explain how it may be applied in the future.
