Question

geologists study what the earth is made of, how it was formed, and how it continues to change. what is one method a geologist might use to study how the earth continues to change? compare high tide and low tide levels on different continents study changes in organism populations in the fossil record make a map of earthquake locations and look for patterns observe changing jet stream patterns and the effect on weather systems

Explanation:

• Option 1: Comparing tide levels across continents is more related to oceanography or coastal studies, not a core geological method for studying Earth's change.
• Option 2: Studying organism populations in fossil records is paleontology/biology - focused, not the main geological method.
• Option 3: Geologists study earthquakes, mapping their locations and looking for patterns helps understand tectonic activity and Earth's dynamic changes (like plate movements, fault lines), which is a key geological method.
• Option 4: Observing jet streams and weather systems is meteorology, not geology.

Answer:

C. make a map of earthquake locations and look for patterns
