In a unique interaction with the scientists at the University law auditorium, lectures with the aid of slide shows and projectors were delivered, through which scientists made the kids aware of popular geophysics concepts.

Calling the approaching 21st century the "future and developing century for earth sciences", Dr Hari Narain, a top geophysicist of the country, said the earlier centuries had belonged to other basic sciences like physics, chemistry and biology, but earth sciences would be the dominant science now.

The northward motion of the Indian plate in the geological past, presented through an animated version on screens, was greatly liked by the kids; which was evident from the loud applause in the auditorium. The presentation was given by Prof Colin V. Reevs from Netherlands. Addressing the students, he explained that "the continents were still drifting away from each other at the rate of two centimetres each year and the rate was comparable to the growth of human finger nails".
