The presentation of spatiotemporal processes is a recurring theme in learning. Such processes are part of the standard curricula in subjects like geography, history, environmental education etc., as well as in professional learning tools like serious games. Learners face several difficulties in studying learning topics without strong spatiotemporal process visualization and explanation support. This paper presents an approach to tackle these problems by providing a spatiotemporal process modeling, visualization and explanation platform on top of Google Earth. The platform is based on a generic conceptual model that adapts to various types of spatiotemporal processes and enables learners to make rich inquiries in a playful manner that resembles their experiences with digital games.
