Block: Block is a 3-dimensional visualization program for viewing regularly gridded data or spatial data points and lines (Both cannot be viewed at the same time). It is included in the UNCERT software as a tool to view the values in a three-dimensional arrays as three dimensional blocks.

This is a cross section of the Hanford 300 Area, Richland, Washinton. The red, yellow, green, and cyan colors represent hydrofacies units in decreasing porosity. The mound, not displayed underneath is basalt high, and the top is the ground surface (vertical exaggeration = 1.5X). Click for full size image
This is the same data as shown above, except the green and cyan units have been removed. If you look carefully, you may also see the bench cut from the top, right corner of the block. Click for full size image
Besides showing 3D block data, scattered data points can also be displayed. This data displays water table elevation data, and a stream (cyan to blue lines) running through the site (vertical exaggeration = 50X). Click for full size image
