What do geologists study in order to understand the history and evolution of the earth?

Minerals
Landforms
Rocks
Weather patterns

The correct answer is: Rocks

Geologists study rocks as they contain valuable information about the history and evolution of the earth. Minerals, while important, do not provide the same level of information as rocks do. Landforms are formed through a combination of factors, including weathering and erosion, and may not always accurately reflect the history of the earth. Weather patterns, although they can be studied to understand the current state of the earth, do not provide information about its past.
