Geologists use unconformities to identify?
Gaps in time in the rock record
What method do geologists use to determine the absolute age of rocks?
Radioactive dating is used to determine the absolute ages of rocks. By Jennifer Palos
How do geologists use fossils to determine rocks age what are this fossils called?
they find the hard part of the fossil
What is the name of the scale Geologists use to measure loose rocks based on diameter?
inches, feet meters, etc.
Geologists use a to investigate rocks and minerals?
complicated sort of tools like nails and hammers and saws and things of which i dont no of
Why do geologists use rocks?
Geologists don't use rocks, they study them.
What two ways geologists use the geologic column?
1.Geologists use the geologic column to help them interperet rocks sequences. 2.they use to help them identify rock layers in complicated rock sequence.
How do geologists use the column?
Geologists use the geologic column to classify layers of rocks and fossils that make up the Earth's crust.

Information on geologist?
What is a geologist? A geologist is a person who studies the Earth and the materials it's made up of (A.K.A. geology). Geologists are also the subject of this speech. There are many kinds of geologists like economic geologists and marine geologists are two examples but I'm just going to deal on the general geologist. A major science they use is Earth science. Earth Science is any of the basic geologic sciences that are connected with the source, arrangement, and physical phenomena of the earth. Using this science geologists can identify countless things. They also identify rocks & minerals. To help identify a mineral's hardness, geologists use Moh's Mineral Scale of Hardness. This scale lists 1-10 weakest to hardest minerals. Moh's Scale is very helpful to geologists. There is also a lot of math involved with geology. One of these is calculus. Calculus is analysis of numbers with special symbols. Calculus helps with making graphs, diagrams, 3-D and 2-D maps, etc. Plus, using calculus geologists can make mathematical models to find oil. Most geologists need to use calculus! SO CALCULUS IS VERY VERY important to Earth Science. Like I said before, geologists are very good at studying rocks. There are three types of rocks: Igneous which is formed by magma and/or lava, Sedimentary which is formed by tiny & big sediments and Metamorphic which is a rock changed by heat & pressure. An example of Igneous is Basalt, a sedimentary is shale and a metamorphic is quartzite. Guess who figured this out. GEOLOGISTS! If it weren't for geologists, we really wouldn't know what rocks were, are, and will be.
What are ways geologists use to identify minerals?
they have to look at the mineral.see what color it is.see the shape.how does it feel to you........?
Which of the following is not a characteristic that geologists use to identify minerals A Fracture B Color c Streak D Softness?
Some characteristics geologists use to identify minerals are fracture, luster, streak, density, cleavage and hardness. From the choices given, D is the one that is not a characteristic.

Yes they do.
