Sydney Basin

The Sydney Basin is a large geological area in eastern Australia that contains layers of sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone and shale, formed over millions of years. It underpins the city of Sydney and surrounding regions, creating a bowl-shaped depression. These rock layers hold important underground resources like groundwater and minerals. The basin's landscape features rolling hills, cliffs, and fertile land, making it suitable for farming and urban development. Geologists study the basin to understand Earth's history and explore natural resources, providing insights into how the region has evolved over time.
