American spelling: to study rocks and Earth's structure, or to examine something from a geological perspective.
From geology + -ize (American suffix for verbs, equivalent to British -ise). Standard in American English since the 19th century.
Though geologists constantly do geological work, the verb 'geologize' is surprisingly rare—most professionals just say 'study geology' or 'conduct fieldwork' instead.
