School question. Ten points best answer?

Question

Ok, what are three different things a geoligist does? Please answer a.s.a.p. Thanks.

J.D.

Answer 1

1. Dates the layers of soil/sediment/rock

2. Classifies soil/sediment/rock

3. Creates samples of soil/sediment/rock

4. Drinks all the time (that one was just for fun haha)

Answer 2

A geologist is a contributor to the science of geology, studying the physical structure and processes of the Earth and planets of the solar system.

Answer 3

scientist who studies the earth and its materials. the moon. and the other planets in the solar system.  

Answer 4

I have no idea but I googled it for you I came up with this.

Geologists work to understand the history of our planet. The better they can understand Earth’s history the better they can foresee how events and processes of the past might influence the future. Here are two examples:

Volcanic Mudflow Hazard Map by USGS  

1) The processes acting upon the Earth cause hazards such as landslides, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.  Geologists are working to understand these processes well enough to avoid building important structures where they will be damaged. If geologists learn a lot about volcanic mudflows of the past then that information can be very useful in predicting the dangerous areas where volcanic mudflows might strike in the future. The map at right shows areas that are thought to be at risk from future mudflows around Mount Rainier. Intelligent people should be cautions when considering activities or property development in these areas. (Click on the map to see greater detail.)

2) Geologists have worked hard to learn that oil and natural gas form from organic materials deposited along the margins of continents and in shallow seas upon the continents. They have also learned to recognize the types of rock that are deposited in these near-shore environments. This knowledge enables them to recoginze potential oil and natural gas source rocks. In the photo below oil field workers are placing a tool into an oil exploration well. This tool will be lowered down the hole and will record tiny amounts of radioactivity released from the rocks below (rocks rich in organic materials frequently contain tiny amounts of radioactive materials). The information obtained from the tool will help them assess the oil and natural gas production potential of the rocks below. If they do these tests at many locations within a region they might be able to map an oil or natural gas field.

3) understand the history of the planet.

Answer 6

Geologist  studies the nature and history of rocks, the planets and the nature of the planets. .It is the discover of what the rocks , soil, planet elements,  are telling you that the history and our past is derived.  He has a background in science, history, math, physics, electricity and chemistry and uses all to find answers the elements are holding.

Answer 9

Geologists study the physical structure and processes of the Earth.

They study volcanos and earthquakes, Rock and mineral formation, hydrology ( the study of groundwater and its behavior). Hope this can be of some help.

Answer 10

study rocks

Answer 11

Geologist study the physical structure of things. Please look at this link you will find your answer.  

Answer 12

Geologists may concentrate their studies or research in one or more of the following disciplines:

Economic geology: the study of ore genesis, and the mechanisms of ore creation, geostatistics.

Engineering geology: application of the geologic sciences to engineering practice for the purpose of assuring that the geologic factors affecting the location, design, construction, operation and maintenance of engineering works are recognized and adequately provided for;

Geophysics: the applied branch deals with the application of physical methods such as gravity, seismicity, electricity, magnetic properties to study the earth.  

Answer 13

Study land formations

Gather soil samples

Analyze samples

Determine different kinds of rocks
