The geological time scale is hugely larger than the human time scale. For humans, a decade is a significant period of time, and even our civilizations span only a few thousand years... whereas in geological terms even a million years isn't that much.

Earthquake is one of the geological process that occurs the shortest amount of time.
How can a geological time scale BEST be reconstructed?
A geological time scale can best be reconstructed using a wide variety of reference books and materials that lay out the chronological order of the geological scale.

What role do volcanoes play in emitting carbon dioxide?
They are part of the carbon cycle, and certainly are extremely important over the longest time scales. But in recent geological history volcanic activity has been very quiet, emitting an average of 0.25 gigatons annually (compared to about 35 gigatons emitted by human activity).
