This example demonstrates how the intersection curve between a 3D surface and a moving plane changes dynamically as the plane's position varies. The core mathematical concepts involve spatial analytic geometry, including surface equations, plane equations, and the computation of intersection curves between two surfaces, along with parametric curves and dynamic geometry principles. The construction uses GeoGebra commands such as Plane to define reference planes, Sequence to generate a series of moving planes, and IntersectPath to compute the intersection path for each plane with the given surface. The object list includes multiple points (A, B, C, D), planes (plane1, plane2, plane3), curves (c1, c2, c, d), surfaces (s1, s2), and sliders (r1, r2), allowing users to adjust parameters and observe the evolution of the intersection curve. This is suitable for high school or early university students to understand spatial curves and surfaces, and serves as an interactive teaching tool or mathematical experiment.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Create a 3D dynamic visualization showing a fixed plane defined by three points and a moving plane that rotates around the vertical axis. Place two spatial curves in the scene. The moving plane intersects each curve, producing two intersection lines, and also intersects a surface, generating a dynamic intersection curve. The fixed plane also intersects the two curves, yielding two stationary intersection lines. Include adjustable sliders to control surface parameters and plane position, allowing observation of how the intersection curves evolve as the plane moves.
