Which would usually get studied by a geologist?
Rocks
What is the opposite of geologist?
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.
What is the opposite of a geologist?
A non-geologist. How can an occupation have an "opposite" - what is the opposite of a doctor? A plumber?
What do you call a person who studies rock's mineral's and earth's land forms?
A person who studies rocks, minerals, and earth's landforms is called a geologist. Geologists examine the composition, structure, and processes of the Earth's surface to better understand its history and natural resources.
What type of scientist would study underwater volcanoes?
A geologist or marine geologist would study underwater volcanoes. They would analyze the eruptive history, composition of the lava, and the geological processes involved in the formation of underwater volcanic structures.
What are the responsibilities of geologist of Mineral Exploration have?
It would depend on their field of endeavor. See the related question.
What do you have to study to become a Geologist?
To become a geologist, you typically need to study subjects such as geology, earth sciences, physics, chemistry, math, and biology. A bachelor's degree in geology or a related field is usually required, followed by potential postgraduate studies or work experience to specialize in a specific area of geology. Fieldwork and hands-on experience are also important in this field.

What is the name of scientist who study rocks and the history of the earth?
Petrologists and mineralogists study rocks and minerals respectively. Earth's landforms are studied by geomorphologists.They may collectively be known as geologists.geologistsGeologistsBest answer would be the earth scientists known as geologists.

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.
Who would what to go to Antarctica?
Penguins and scientist/geologist to study it.
What geologist might use?
They would use a rock hammer.

What is the role of geologist in petroleum industry?
The role of a geologist varies not only with his area of specialization (there are numerous) but also experience earned on the job and the occupational specialties as described by the company for which he works. In general and traditionally, the geologist has been responsible for the exploration and delineation of the petroleum reservoir. Historically in the field the geologist would find and sample potential source rock and potential reservoir rock. He would map potential structures that could be petroleum traps and define where best to drill. Today, the lines are more blurred. The geologist can still be responsible for collecting rock samples in the field, but this might also be carried out by another geologist in a core lab examining core samples from another well whose samples correlate with the new area of interest. The gross surface structure of an area might be mapped by a geologist in the field but more likely it will be done by a geologist specializing in remote sensing looking at satellite imagery or aerial photos. A geologist specializing in basin analysis might chime in with information on the timing of the source rock and reservoir rock structure giving information on whether the source rock reached maturity before or after the potential traps were formed. A structural geologist might be consulted to advise on the potential for fractures in the area that might serve as migration pathways or potential porosity in the reservoir rock. Another geologist, a petrophysicist might examine the cores to determine the reservoir properties of the rock and correlate them to seismic properties. These would in turn give information to the geologist/geophysicist doing seismic interpretation of the area. Still another geologist specializing in well log analysis (also a potential petrophysicist) might correlate well logs from wells drilled in the general or regional area to determine the underlying sedimentary environment and facies distribution. He might consult a specialist in seismic stratigraphy or sedimentary petrology, both geologists for additional input. From this information a geologist would work up a volumetrics analysis to determine the potential recoverable oil present in the unproven reservoir. Another geologist might work up a risk analysis on the the potential reservoir to help determine if the prospect is worth drilling. Once the decision has been made, and drilling commences, a well site geologist would be responsible for monitoring the drillng progress and identifying potential hydrocarbon bearing zones from drill cuttings and mud returns. Another geologist would be responsible for mud logging. Once the well is complete, the well site geologist for the company drilling, would stipulate the zones to be logged by the service company. The service company logging engineer would recommend a log suite to be run. The company well site geologist would provide oversight and quality control on the log run and the data. A decision on whether to or how to complete the well and what intervals to perforate would be made. This data would be provided back to the geologists in the office to assess the results and if possible develop a reservoir model. If enough wells are present in the area a detailed reservoir model can be constructed from the logs and seismic data. If this is a wildcat or new field well the team might keep control or a reservoir or development geologist might be brought in to facilitate infill drilling to completely exploit the new found reservoir. The development or reservoir geologist might work closely with the reservoir engineer to plan out how to most efficiently exploit the reservoir. In some instances, like a small company, one geologist would fill nearly all the roles himself. In larger companies with more compartmentalization the roles might be carried out by separate individuals within the larger organization. I am sure I have overlooked something, but this will give you an idea of the many roles a geologist plays in finding petroleum.
What a is geologist?
In Greek/Latin, "geo" means "earth". "-ology" means "the study of". From this, it is easily deduced that "geology" means "the study of the earth" and that a "geologist" is one who studies the earth. A more specific definition states that a geologist is someone who is a contributor to the science of geology. They study the processes and physical structure of the Earth and also the planets of the solar system. Click on the link below.A geologist is someone who is actively involved in the field of Geology, so it would be good to also know what Geology is.Geology is the study of the Earth (not rocks). Therefore, a geologist is someone who studies the processes of the Earth, including deep inside, and we can also look into the depths of space to see where the Earth fits into a larger picture. It's certainly a much larger study field than most people think...rocks? I think not.Of course, a geologist does study rocks, but most people have no idea why. 'What is the point of a geologist?' could be a follow up question, so I will answer this also. A geologist is hired for two reasons as far as I know:To investigate the geological history and structure of an area (i.e. to carry out a geological survey)To advise a solution to a geology-related issueThe work done is very important, and fundamental to many jobs. Locating where a building should be constructed is more difficult than most people realise. Some spots are unstable, and in earthquake-prone areas, any structures would collapse easily. That's an example of a job a geologist might be involved in.
