How the science is checked

Every answer has a source

All 53 learning activities — including 24 challenge questions — reuse only content that is already cited in the Geo Lab, or general principles from a geology textbook. Simulations and illustrations are labelled Simplified model.

Nothing here is published on the public website until a qualified geologist has approved the activity and every fact it relies on.
