What is a geologist?
A geologist is a scientist who studies the Earth, including rocks, minerals, and fossils, to learn how our planet was formed and how it changes over time.
They help find resources like minerals, oil, and water, and they also work to predict natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanoes.
Geologists often explore the outdoors, digging and discovering new things about the Earth!

What is Geology?
Geology is the study of our planet’s rocks, minerals, soils and how they move, interact with one another and evolve through millions of years.
Rocks are made up of minerals. Each rock and mineral tells a story about Earth’s history.
Geology helps us find resources like water, oil, minerals and metals that have become very important in our lives. Mining is the process of removing and isolating the minerals that we need to build items that we use every day and to create new advanced technologies such as batteries and electric vehicles.
Geology helps us understand natural events like earthquakes and volcanoes.
