Why would a geologist need hydrochloric acid and a hand lens?
Hydrochloric acid reacts with carbonate containing minerals (such as limestone) to release carbon dioxide (makes it fizz). By hand lens, I am assuming that you mean a magnifying glass. This would be important to view the details of the crystalline form of various rocks and minerals (I am not a geologist, though, so I am guessing here).
What would be studied by a geologist A the composition of minerals B the tides of ocean C the climate of a particular area?
A. A geologist would study the composition of minerals.
What does radiometric dating tell geologist about some rocks and minerals?
their ages
What does a forensic geologist do?
A forensic geologist is responsible for studying the earth in connection with crimes. They look at soil, minerals and rocks to determine if and when a crime occurred.
What is the difference between a geologist and a gemologist?
A geologist studies rocks, minerals, and physical structure of a particular area. A gemologist studies gems and gemstones.
What is a minerals acc to geologist?
geologist define minerals as a homogenous,naturally occurring substances with a definable internal structure."
What do carbon minerals contain?
Most carbonate minerals are either calcium carbonate (limestone) or a mixture of calcium carbonate with magnesium carbonate (dolomite). However other metals can also combine with carbonate to produce much rarer carbonate minerals.
What are carbonate minerals?
Examples of carbonate minerals would be calcite, dolomite, and aragonite. These are widely distributed in the Earth's crust. Less common carbonate minerals include siderite, rhodochrosite, strontianite, smithsonite, witherite, and cerussite. Minerals that are considered to be carbonates contain the carbonate ion, CO32−

A. A geologist would study the composition of minerals.
Are both calcite and dolomite carbonate minerals?
Yes. Dolomite is calcium magnesium carbonate.
What will happen when carbonate minerals come into contact with hydrochloric aci?
The acid will react with the carbonate minerals, releasing CO2 gas, the minerals will "fizz".
Do archaeologists study the earths rocks and minerals?
No, Geologist do.
