Use Gale software to produce problem-solving geological models.
With Gale coding software, you can create two-dimensional and three-dimensional computer models to help solve problems related to plate tectonics and the movement of the Earth's crust. Gale is free, open source software, so you won't need to buy a license to use the program. After downloading and installing Gale on your computer, launch the program with the computer's Command Prompt tool.
