However, there are several related terms:
* Geologist: This is the most common and accurate term for someone who studies the Earth's physical structure, composition, history, and processes.
* Geomorphologist: Studies the Earth's landforms and how they are shaped by natural processes.
* Petrologist: Studies the origin, composition, and structure of rocks.
* Mineralogist: Studies minerals and their properties.
* Sedimentologist: Studies sedimentary rocks and the processes that form them.
So, depending on the specific field of Earth science being studied, you could use one of these terms instead of "geo-tologist."
