Definition. Botulism is a rare but serious condition caused by toxins from bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. Three common forms of botulism are: 1  Foodborne botulism.2  The harmful bacteria thrive and produce the toxin in environments with little oxygen, such as in canned food.3  Wound botulism. 4  If these bacteria get into a cut, they can cause a dangerous infection that produces the toxin.5  Infant botulism.efinition.

How do geologists use seismographic data to make maps of faults? Seismographs detect the reflected seismic waves and geologists use this data to map the length and depth of the fault. Why do geologists collect data on friction along the sides of faults? So they can try to predict the probability of a large earthquake.
Scientists who study earthquakes are known as seismologists. Seismology is a branch of geophysics. Seismologist yes, earthquakes, Tsunamis, or any other seismic phenomena A spâ¦ecial sort of Geologist who would call themselves Seismologists. A scientist called a seismologist studies earthquakes. They are not currently able to predict when they will occur but can make estimates of the risk posed by a given fault zone and also the potential magnitude of an earthquake that may occur. seismologists (earthquakes); geologists (earth's crust) Seismologists, and, to a certain extent, geologists.
