Looking at and interpreting surface features.

Geologists conduct fieldwork to study rock formations, collect samples, and map geological features. They also analyze data in laboratories to determine the composition and age of rocks, interpret geological processes, and make predictions about natural events like earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
Two activities performed by production systems are planning and scheduling. Planning involves determining how resources should be allocated to meet production goals, while scheduling involves establishing the sequence and timing of production activities to optimize efficiency.
No, though they can narrow it down to two possible locations.
Rocks are to geologists as stars are to astronomers.
Geologists use carbon-14 and carbon-12 in radiocarbon dating. Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope that decays over time, while carbon-12 is a stable isotope. By measuring the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 in a sample, geologists can determine the age of the sample.
Some geologists work for quarries, mines, or oil and gas companies (many jobs in Calgary, Alberta, Canada).
