Crystallography
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/what-are-minerals/crystallography/Minerals can be identified by the shape of their crystals: called crystallography. External crystallography measures the outside properties of crystals such as length of crystal surfaces and the angles between these surfaces.

Lavas
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/lavas/One of the products of volcanic eruptions is lava. Lavas vary widely in composition depending upon their original source magma.

Plate Tectonics
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/plate-tectonic-processes/Since the 1950s, several discoveries have led to a new understanding of how the Earth works.

Meteors and Meteorites
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/meteors-and-meteorites/Solid pieces of extraterrestrial debris (meteoroids) can stray from their orbits in outer space and be captured by Earth's gravity.

Igneous rock types
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/igneous-rock-types/Igneous rocks can be divided up into four groups, based on how they were formed and what they are made of.

Looking inside the Earth
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/looking-inside-the-earth/The internal structure of the Earth consists of three main parts, the crust, mantle and core. The division between the crust and the mantle is called the Moho.

Structure of volcanoes
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/structure-of-volcanoes/Although volcanoes are often seen as being destructive they are also constructive. They add more land to the surface of the Earth and, when weathered, provide us with a nutrient-rich soil for agriculture.

Sedimentary processes
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/sedimentary-processes/Sediments are formed by the breakdown (both physical and chemical) of pre-existing rocks, which may be of igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary origin.

Sedimentary structures
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/sedimentary-structures/Sedimentary structures can be of either physical (e.g. wave action) or biological (e.g. disruption of sediments by animals) origin.
