Geological survey

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

A literate geologist fills out a copy of the geological survey.

The Geological Survey is the process of obtaining information about geologist's favourite rocks and earth science subjects (excluding geography). The term is mostly used in connection with chartered geologists, self-learned petroleum geologists and anybody awarded with a BSc in Geology or higher. It is recommended that the survey is to be taken every 5 years according to both USGS and BGS recommendations and the last formal survey was carried out in 2005.
