so light can go through it!
Thin sections: A thin slice of rock mounted on a glass slide. Cross-polarized light: Two polarizing filters that allow observation of mineral properties like birefringence and color under a microscope.
Geologists cut rocks very thin to allow light to pass through the sample. This makes it easier to observe the mineral composition, texture, and structures of the rock under the microscope. Thinner sections enhance the clarity and resolution of the features being studied.
Geologists subdivide geological periods into eras.
The salary for geologists can vary depending on factors such as experience, location, and industry. On average, entry-level geologists typically make around $50,000-$70,000 per year, while senior geologists with more experience can earn upwards of $100,000-$150,000 or more annually.
The plural of geologist is geologists. As in "the geologists are studying the meteor sample".
The ability to produce thin wall sections are another advantage of using the investment casting process. Sections as thin as 0.015 inches, for example, have been cast
A petrographic microscope is commonly used to examine grains in a rock. This specialized microscope allows geologists to view minerals and their characteristics in thin sections of rocks at a microscopic level. By analyzing the grains and textures present, geologists can determine the rock's composition and origin.

Geologists use the geologic column to classify layers of rocks and fossils that make up the Earth's crust.
