In order to become a geologist you would normally need a minimum of an undergraduate degree in geology or a related field.
As geology is a science which encompasses all three of the main branches of scientific study - Physics, Chemistry and Biology (with the first two being of greater importance), GCSEs in these subjects will all be important. Mathematics will also play a significant role in geology and an extremely significant role if geophysics modules are also to be studied as part of a university geology course.
An understanding of surface landforms and their formation may prove useful so physical geography may be an appropriate area of study but is by no means vital.
A practising geologist is expected to be able to effectively communicate their knowledge in the form of technical scientific reports and verbally in the form of presentations. As such a strong grasp of spoken and written English will be important (this is true for any scientific or engineering job however).
Also it is worth remembering that the majority of universities require a minimum of 2 science A-level subjects (out of the 3 subjects studied) for acceptance on a geology undergraduate course.
Based on the above, the subjects highlighted in bold in the text above are likely to be the most important.
