Based on context clues in the passage, what is the best definition of the word geologist?

I am not exactly sure what passage you mean but this is what I would put what a geologist means.

Geologists study earth processes such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, and volcanic eruptions to survey land and draw up safe building plans. When geologists investigate earth materials, they not only investigate metals and minerals, but also look for oil, natural gas, water and methods to extract these.

If you are like me you have a ring doorbell. You could check to see who they were through the door. you can alsi speak to them through the doorbell system.

Don't open the door if they look suspicious and ypu don't know them.

Make sure you have weapons around you to use against the possible home invader.

I hope this helped! YOU ROCK HAVE A NICE DAY :)
