Aim and core idea (?)

The aim of the project is the bring awareness to one of the main aspects of International Mountain Day - the idea of mountains as important to life.

One idea I had for this is as follows (pasted directly from notes, so forgive fragmentation):
Interactive landscape - game-like - participants can change details at will - put a mountain here, take away a mountain there, put a volcano there - and see how that change effects everything else - climate, habitability, desertification, all that stuff. Brings awareness to importance of mountains to life by showing what mountains do in terms of climate, wind-direction, fertility, water, etc. and how their appearance or disappearance could have disastrous or beneficial effects over a long period.

One way of implementing this could involve something similar to the interactive tabletop video I embedded earlier on this blog.
