Answer 1

Geologists study the following:

• the solid parts of Earth

• the rocks and minerals that make up Earth

They do not primarily focus on oxygen and other gases that surround Earth or living things on Earth, as those subjects are more related to atmospheric sciences and biology, respectively.
