An epoch is typically smaller than an era or a period in geological or historical scales.
An epoch is smaller than an era or a period.
A period is smaller than an era in the geologic time scale. It is further subdivided into epochs and ages.
In geological time a period is smaller than an era but larger than a Epoch.The International Commission of Stratigraphic have divided the time as such from largest to smallest.Super-Eon - (SuperEonothem) (Not recognised by the ICS but unofficially recognised e.g. Precambrian time)Eon - (Eonothem)Era - (Erathem)Period - (System)Subperiod - (SubSystem)Epoch - (Series)Age - (Stage)Chron - (Chronozone) (Not recognised by the ICS but is unofficially recognised usually based on reversal of earths magnetic field)
An eon is longer than an epoch. Eons are the largest divisions of geological time, typically spanning hundreds of millions to billions of years, while epochs are subdivisions of periods, which are themselves part of eons. For example, the current eon, the Phanerozoic, contains several periods, each of which can be further divided into epochs.
An epoch is longer than an era. An epoch can last for more than one lifetime.
The epoch that was warmer and drier than the Pleistocene is the Holocene epoch, which began around 11,700 years ago and continues to the present. The Holocene has seen significant warming since the last glacial period of the Pleistocene, leading to the development of modern ecosystems and human civilizations. This epoch is characterized by stable climates that have contributed to the growth of agriculture and urban societies.
Geological epochs and era basically denote a certain measurement of time. An epoch is longer than an era. A period of time is defined by 'epoch' if certain events have taken place that are serially significant developments. An era, conversely, is a smaller unit of time that is usually more specific to a beginning, such as the Birth of Christ (4 BCE). An example of an epoch is the Holocene, which is marked by human civilzation. Holocene epoch, alongside the Pleistocene (first humans), Philocene (first homonids), Miocene (more mammals, including horses, dogs, and bears), Oligocene (minor extinction; the emergence of new mammals, such as pigs, deer, and cats), Eocene (mammals abound, rodents appear), and Paleocene (first mammals and primitive primates appear) eepochs, are contained within the Cenozoic Era, otherwise known "The Age of Mammals".

No, a geologic era is a longer unit of time than a geologic period. Geologic eras are divided into periods, which are further subdivided into epochs. The hierarchy from largest to smallest is era, period, epoch.

In geological time the Eon is larger than the Period. The Eon is the largest division of geological time recognised by the International Commission of Stratigraphic.The ICS have divided the time as such from largest to smallest.Super-Eon - (SuperEonothem) (Not recognised by the ICS but unofficially recognised e.g. Precambrian time)Eon - (Eonothem)Era - (Erathem)Period - (System)Subperiod - (SubSystem)Epoch - (Series)Age - (Stage)Chron - (Chronozone) (Not recognised by the ICS but is unofficially recognised usually based on reversal of earths magnetic field)
