Mineralogy and Petrology :: 2. Formation of minerals (and rocks)
... All rock-forming minerals – igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic – can be recrystallized into new minerals if placed into completely new physical-chemical conditions. If in this process the change of temperature and/or pressure is dominant then it is termed metamorphism. During metamorphism transform ...

History of geology
The history of geology is concerned with the development of the natural science of geology. Geology is the scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of the Earth. Throughout the ages geology provides essential theories and data that shape how society conceptualizes the Earth.
