The geologic time scale.
Geologic Time. It's called the Geologic Time Scale.
Cenozoic is not a major period of the geologic time scale. The scale is broken down into eras. Cenozoic, Mesozoic and Paleozoic are all part of the Phanerozic era.
Phanerozoic is the eon which geologic time scale means visable life.
The Precambrian
in the scope of geologic time, how significant is the presence of humans?
Cenozoic
On a geologic time scale, yes. On any other time scale, no.
Eon The largest expanse of time on the geologic time scale is the eon. An eon would encompass at least two eras.
Eon The largest expanse of time on the geologic time scale is the eon. An eon would encompass at least two eras.
The Geologic Time Scale is broken up into several periods of time, during which there were great changes in the biodiversity on Earth. We can see distinct changes in the flora (plants) and fauna (animals of each time period. The age range of each period is determined by radiometric dating.
Eon is the broadest division on the geologic time scale, representing the longest time span. Eons are further divided into eras, which are then subdivided into periods, epochs, and ages.
