What would most likely be studied by a geoglogist?

A geologist would likely study the Earth's structure, composition, and processes, including rocks, minerals, plate tectonics, and natural hazards like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. They may also investigate the history of the Earth and how it has changed over time.


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 geologist would study the composition of minerals, which involves identifying and analyzing the different types of minerals present in a particular area. This study helps geologists understand the geological processes that have occurred to form these minerals and the conditions under which they were created.


Where would be mostly likely to see evidence of wind erosion?

You would most likely see evidence of wind erosion in deserts, coastal areas, or regions with sparse vegetation. Common signs include the presence of sand dunes, rock formations shaped by wind abrasion, and barren landscapes with little to no soil cover.


What is the person who studies the Earth called?

There are many forms of earth science, and therefore many names for those who study aspects of earth--geologists, geophysics scientists, ecologists, hydrologists, sedimentologists, and more.


What scientist would most likely study earth's past biosphere?

A paleontologist or a paleoecologist would most likely study Earth's past biosphere, focusing on the study of ancient life forms and ecosystems through the analysis of fossils and sedimentary records.

Fossilized evidence of Earth's first forms of life would consist of?

The earliest fossils known are in the form of stromatolites formed by cyanobacteria about 3.5 billion years ago. To say however that these are the first life forms is not likely to be correct. Cyanobacteria are already a relatively complex single celled organism. It is likely that simpler forms preceded them but so far no evidence of this has been found.


What type of scientist is most likely to study cooling of lava after a valcanic eruption?

A volcanologist or a geologist specializing in volcanoes would be most likely to study the cooling of lava after a volcanic eruption. They would investigate the physical and chemical properties of the cooling lava to understand its behavior and how it solidifies over time.

How would a geologist identify an igneos rock as extrusive or intrusive?

You can look at the rock texture.If the crystals are Large enough to be visible with your naked eye without stressing it the the texture is likely to be either medium coarse grained or course grained which is an indication that it is Intrusive.The opposite is forExtrusive
