Who is the best geologist?

Your question is kind of broad since geology is comprised of such a wide spectrum of careers, but here are a few of the most renowned geologists in history: James Hutton - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hutton Charles Lyell - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Lyell Alfred Wegener - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Wegener Here's a list of other famous geologists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_geologists The majority of work that geologists perform today is based on the discoveries of these people. There are many different jobs that geologists perform today, but I'd say that the "best" geologists of today are those who dedicate their lives to the study of environmental sustainability and the prediction/prevention of geologic hazards. Geologists involved with the oil industry are generally the highest paid in the field, but some may not consider these to be the "best" geologists because of their affiliation with oil companies and how detrimental they are to the environment. Many of the best geologists today work for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). http://www.usgs.gov/

How do geologist know what Earth's interior looks like?

Earthquakes occur frequently. They create different types of waves that travel through the earth at a variety of speeds. Certain waves are also reflected and refracted by some materials. As a result it is possible to tell where boundaries are between two different types of materials. By knowing the speed the various waves travel through the various materials, it is also possible to know the density of various materials. Geologists know the material ejected by volcanoes of various types. The density in the center of the earth is the same as a mixture of iron and nickel. Just above the center of the earth is heavy material, but is a guess!
