Classification of sedimentary rocks
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/classification-of-sedimentary-rocks/Sedimentary rocks are classified according to the predominant grain size present, as well as by their mineral content.

Volcanic landforms
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/volcanic-landforms/Each type of volcanic massif (structure) contains lavas, pyroclastic rocks and intrusions, but these differ in proportions and compositions.
-
Magma
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/magma/Magma is hot molten mobile rock. Igneous rocks form when magma cools and solidifies. Magmas come out of active volcanoes as lavas.

Igneous intrusions
https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/igneous-intrusions/Molten magma can invade the Earth's upper layers and then solidify as igneous intrusions.
-
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.
