Did you know that In geology, numerical modeling is a widely applied technique to tackle complex geological problems by computational simulation of geological scenarios.Numerical modeling uses mathematical models to describe the physical conditions of geological scenarios using numbers and equations.

Both qualitative and quantitative understanding of a variety of geological processes can be developed via these experiments. Numerical modelling has been used to assist in the study of rock mechanics, thermal history of rocks, movements of tectonic plates and the Earth's mantle.
