Metamorphism
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/metamorphism/The word metamorphism comes from Greek and means 'change of form'. Metamorphic rocks are pre-existing rocks whose mineral composition and/or texture has been changed by processes within the Earth.

The Sydney Basin
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/the-sydney-basin/The Sydney Basin is a major structural basin containing a thick Permian-Triassic (290 Ma - 200 Ma (million years old)) sedimentary sequence that is part of the much larger Sydney-Gunnedah-Bowen Basin.

Metamorphic rocks
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/metamorphic-rocks/Metamorphic rocks form because of changes in temperature and depth of burial within the Earth in a solid state without actual melting.

Evolving landscape
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/australia-over-time/evolving-landscape/Over thousands of millions of years, continents, oceans and mountain ranges have moved vast distances both vertically and horizontally.

What are minerals?
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/what-are-minerals/Minerals are an integral part of the structure of the Earth. Explore what minerals are, and how they are made, how they are identified and what they are used for. Look at the specific chemical and physical properties of minerals.

Shaping the Earth
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/What makes the Earth unique? Where does it fit in the Solar System and, ultimately, the universe? Take a look inside the Earth and find out what it is made from and how it is structured. Look at the processes that shape the Earth.

Geological deposits and resources
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/geological-deposits/Geology is an important part of our economy and industry.

Types of metamorphism
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/types-of-metamorphism/There are several different types of metamorphism, including dynamic, contact, regional, and retrogressive metamorphism, that form and shape rocks.

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.

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.
