That's a hard question to answer, since a Geologist is someone who researches rocks, minerals, and the composition of the earth, what would you consider the opposite of a geologist. Possibly someone who studies the stars such as an astronomer.

It would depend on their field of endeavor. See the related question.
Why does a mineral have a characteristic chemical composition?
Minerals are basically chemicals in a solid form.A2. Part of the definition of a mineral is that it has a known chemical composition. If its composition were variable, it would not qualify under the definition.

Felsic igneous rock with exact same composition of granite, just tiny crystals. granite= orhtoclase, quartz, biotite.
What is a person who studies rock?
Geology is the general term given to the study of the planet earth. Geology has many branches and Petrology is the branch of geology that studies the origin, composition, distribution and structure of rocks, a Geologist specialising in that area would call themselves a "Petrologist".
Which rock melts faster?
A rocks melting point at surface pressures would depend on its mineral composition. Every mineral has a different melting point, and rocks are composed of a variety of minerals.
What is a mineral without a big paragraph please a definition that would please your teachers?
A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid with a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition.Make sure you don't put:A Mineral is a sparkly rock
What makes a minerals a mineral?
A mineral is defined as "a naturally occurring, homogeneous solid with a defined chemical composition, and a highly ordered crystal matrix." Thus, diamond (carbon) might make it into the mineral class by this definition, but mercury or water would not.
A naturally occurring inorganic solid that has an orderly crystalline structure and a definite chemical composition is called what?
it would be a mineral because it natural occurs but some can be organic because some are made with carbon like diamond
Would mineral content classify an igneous rock?
Definitely, the mineral composition and content of an igneous rock would classify them. If the predominant minerals are Felsic then the igneous rock would be a light colored one such as Granite but if its Mafic then the igneous rock would be dark colored like Basalt.
Do a mineral have to be formed by a manufactured process to be considered a mineral?
No, indeed the contrary. A mineral is defined as a "naturally occurring, homogeneous solid with a defined chemical composition and a highly ordered atomic arrangement." So, a material such as tungsten carbide which is only man-made (as far as I know), would not be classified as a mineral.
What is a naturally occurring inorganic substance with a definite chemical composition and crystal structure called?
If it's also a solid, it would be called a mineral.
The three factors that affect whether rocks melts?
Mineral composition of the rock, and the temperature and pressure it is exposed to, would determine the melting point of a particular rock.

What is the likely chemical composition of soot following a fire within a non asbestos containing brick building having Sythetic Mineral fiber insulation?
I do not know the exact/possible chemical composition. It is mainly composed of carbon (which means it needs to include oxygen) so the composition would include C and O.
What is an example of a composition?

Penguins and scientist/geologist to study it.
What geologist might use?
They would use a rock hammer.
Why would the color of a mineral vary?
The color of a mineral may vary if it has impurities. For example, calcite may come in many different colors, but its chemical composition is still CaCO3. For many minerals, color can not be used as a diagnostic property. However, even if a mineral has several different colors, its streak will always be the same.
