Most geodynamical processes happen on extremely large scales, both in space and time. Most geodynamical processes happen on extremely large scales, both in space and time.
Common sense says, that if force is applied to a rock, it will either break into several pieces or reflect the hit. Common sense says, that if force is applied to a rock, it will either break into several pieces or reflect the hit.
But it will \emph{not} deform like a piece of metal or even a \emph{fluid} would do. But it will \emph{not} deform like a piece of metal or even a \emph{fluid} would do it.

The most severe is, that we have to translate the internal format, every time, we switch between the programs. The most severe is, that we have to translate the internal format, every time, we switch between the programs.

Our main question was, if a method, that was designed to simulate geodynamical processes, is also able to handle processes governed by radical different regimes, after some basic modifications were applied to it?
