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 some examples:
Geologists study earth processes: Many processes such as landslides, earthquakes, floods and volcanic eruptions can be hazardous to people. Geologists work to understand these processes well enough to avoid building important structures where they might be damaged. If geologists can prepare maps of areas that have flooded in the past they can prepare maps of areas that might be flooded in the future. These maps can be used to guide the development of communities and determine where flood protection or flood insurance is needed.
Geologists study earth materials: People use earth materials every day. They use oil that is produced from wells, metals that are produced from mines, and water that has been drawn from streams or from underground. Geologists conduct studies that locate rocks that contain important metals, plan the mines that produce them and the methods used to remove the metals from the rocks. They do similar work to locate and produce oil, natural gas and ground water.
Geologists study earth history: Today we are concerned about climate change. Many geologists are working to learn about the past climates of earth and how they have changed across time. This information is valuable to understand how our current climate is changing and what the results might be.

Geologists are people who study rocks and minerals.
The plural of geologist is geologists. As in "the geologists are studying the meteor sample".
Geologists are often employed in oil and gas industries.
False, Geologists identified about 3,800 minerals.
That would be a geologist? Or if you wanted a name: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_geologists
By doing their effin job!
Geologists study rocks and can work as researchers or as teachers. Geologists can work in colleges, universities, or in high schools teaching geology.
No, geologists study rocks and rock formations. Some geological surveys are done to locate fossil fuels. Their job specifics do not directly impact renewable fuel sources.
geologists!!! ... "biologists" not "geologists"...
Rocks are to geologists as stars are to astronomers.
Geologists are people who study rocks and minerals.
There are different types of geologists that study oil exploration, mineral exploration and mineral mining. There are also engineering geologists.
Pros: You get to work with the envrioment, many different jobs in the field Cons: May have to relocate due to job
Geologists don't use rocks, they study them.
The plural of geologist is geologists. As in "the geologists are studying the meteor sample".
Geologists are often employed in oil and gas industries.
Oceanographers study the ocean. Geologists study the earth.
