Water and sedimentary transport
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/water-and-sedimentary-processes/Water plays a vital role in most sedimentary processes. Pure water itself has little effect on rocks. It is the dissolved gases in water, particularly carbon dioxide, that cause the chemical decay of minerals and mineral dissolution.

Glossary of geoscience terms
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/glossary-geoscience-terms/Geoscience (also known as earth sciences and geology) is the study of the Earth and includes all non-living parts of our environment, and everything below the Earth's surface. Here are some common geoscience terms explained.

Radioactive dating
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/radioactive-dating/Radioactive dating is a method of dating rocks and minerals using radioactive isotopes. This method is useful for igneous and metamorphic rocks, which cannot be dated by the stratigraphic correlation method used for sedimentary rocks.
