A Geologits

Geology is a study that encompasses all the materials that make up the earth, the forces that
act upon the earth, as well as the biology of ancestral inhabitants based on fossil records. A
geologist is someone who works to understand the history of the planet we live on , to better predict
the future and explain current occurrences.
A geologist studies earth processes such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, and volcanic
eruptions to survey land and draw up safe building plans. When geologists investigate earth
materials, not only do they investigate metals and minerals, but they also look into oil, natural gas,
water and methods to extract these. Overall, geology is concerned with the changes of the earth over
time, such as climate change and land formation.
All divisions of geology provide highly useful information towards understanding the earth
and its inhabitants. Depending on the particular specialization in geology, a geologist may study
and map rock formations, collect rock samples and fossils, or measure the physical properties of the
earth. This helps geologists interpret the active geological processes during the past several million
years of earth's history. Geology plays a vital role behind the success of many other different
disciplines, such as climatology, civil engineering, and evolutionary biology.
A general geologist deals with mineralogy, petrology, geological mapping, economic
geology, and petroleum geology. Geological mapping deals with documenting geological
formations on a map, such as rock patterns and distribution. Economic and petroleum geology deal
with materials that are of import to economic or industrial purposes, such as coal, ores, and
minerals.
Geologists work mainly in the field outdoors, and they can also do research within
laboratories, classrooms, and offices. Since geology deals with much fieldwork, one should be able
to adapt to weather changes and to varying terrains.
Geologists and geo-technologists work for mining companies or oil and gas exploration
companies. They can also find work in civil engineering firms, planning city construction.
Additionally , government agencies may need the aid of geologists to support geoscience,
education, water affairs, and forestry. A geologist may also work with a variety of organizations
over the span of their employment, such as non-profit organizations, universities and natural reserve
companies, or work as a consultant.
