 A geologist is a scientist who studies the solid and liquid matter that
constitutes the Earth as well as the processes and history that have shaped
it. Geologists usually engage in studying geology. Geologists, studying
more of an applied science than a theoretical one, must approach Geology
using physics, chemistry and biology as well as other sciences.
 Physical Geologist:
 Physical geology is the science concerned with examining the true
properties of Earth and analyzing it in a way that allows scientists
to become more familiar with the planet. Unlike other geological
studies, physical geology focuses solely on the materials Earth
is made of and the process that bring these materials into fruition.
