Who is the best geologist?
Your question is kind of broad since geology is comprised of such a wide spectrum of careers, but here are a few of the most renowned geologists in history: James Hutton - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hutton Charles Lyell - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Lyell Alfred Wegener - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Wegener Here's a list of other famous geologists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_geologists The majority of work that geologists perform today is based on the discoveries of these people. There are many different jobs that geologists perform today, but I'd say that the "best" geologists of today are those who dedicate their lives to the study of environmental sustainability and the prediction/prevention of geologic hazards. Geologists involved with the oil industry are generally the highest paid in the field, but some may not consider these to be the "best" geologists because of their affiliation with oil companies and how detrimental they are to the environment. Many of the best geologists today work for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). http://www.usgs.gov/
What is a geologists job?
Geologists work to understand the history of our planet. The better they can understand Earth's history the better they can foresee how events and processes of the past might influence the future. Here are some examples:Geologists study earth processes: Many processes such as landslides, earthquakes, floods and volcanic eruptions can be hazardous to people. Geologists work to understand these processes well enough to avoid building important structures where they might be damaged. If geologists can prepare maps of areas that have flooded in the past they can prepare maps of areas that might be flooded in the future. These maps can be used to guide the development of communities and determine where flood protection or flood insurance is needed.Geologists study earth materials: People use earth materials every day. They use oil that is produced from wells, metals that are produced from mines, and water that has been drawn from streams or from underground. Geologists conduct studies that locate rocks that contain important metals, plan the mines that produce them and the methods used to remove the metals from the rocks. They do similar work to locate and produce oil, natural gas and ground water.Geologists study earth history: Today we are concerned about climate change. Many geologists are working to learn about the past climates of earth and how they have changed across time. This information is valuable to understand how our current climate is changing and what the results might be.http://geology.com/articles/what-is-geology.shtml

Why do you think that the work of geologists is important to our daily lives?
geologists affect our lives in the following ways. they monitor seismic activities within the earths interior and are able to warn us of impending earthquakes and impending shockwaves geologists monitor volcanoes and are able tom predict when the next eruption will occur and the expected magnitude geologists are also important in the process of drilling boreholes as they have crucial information on the type of soil found in different areas and they can offer crucial advice in the process of drilling bore holes geologists also moniter the earths magnetic fields and can use this fields to date rocks which can then tell us crucial movements of tectonic plates

What is the definition of work backwards in math?
The strategy of working backwards entails starting with the end results and reversing the steps you need to get those results, in order to figure out the answer to the problem. =D
