A unit of geologic time that includes two or more periods?
Era
What do periods on the geologic time scale represent?
An era, in geologic terms, is a geological time period encompassing two or more geologic periods.
What list places the divisions of the geologic time scale in order from longest to shortest?
The order of geologic time from smallest to largest is Phanerozoic, Proterozoic, Archean and Hadean (Deep Time). These four periods are called Eons which can be further subdivided into Eras, Periods and Epochs. Most people are more familiar with the periods such as Cambrian, Permian, Triassic, Jurassic and. Cretaceous and many more to numerous to mention. To learn more, Google geologic time scale.
When was the boreal cordillera formed?
The Boreal Cordillera is an eco-zone that includes several different mountain ranges as well as other landforms. Each specific mountain range and landform has a unique geologic age meaning that this area formed over a long period of geologic time. For specific information on which mountain ranges and physical units make up this area see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boreal_Cordillera_Ecozone_%28CEC%29 For more detailed information on the Western Cordillera in general and discussion explaining the time periods of the mountain ranges in question see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Cordillera_%28North_America%29

Where did the name Quartenary come from?
It continues up to the present time and is the period that we live in. The Quaternary Period is divided into two epochs :The Pleistocene Epoch - 1.8 million to 11,000 years agoThe Holocene Epoch - 11,000 years ago to presentEach epoch has unique characteristics for climate and geography, so the plants and animals that lived during those times are unique to each epoch, too.The Geologic Time Naming SystemIn the early 1800's a system for naming geologic time periods was devised using four periods of geologic time. They were named using Latin root words. In Latin, quatr means four. Early geologists chose the name Quaternary for the fourth period in this system. We no longer use this system of dividing geologic time, but the name, Quaternary, is still commonly used for the most recent period in geologic time.The system for naming the periods is constantly changing. As more information is collected, analyzed, and debated, the divisions created for looking at geologic time changes. The Quaternary Period is no longer an official geologic time period. This time is now considered part of the larger Neogene Period.
What kind of changes mark the beginning and ending of divisions in geologic time?
Earth's past has been organized into various units according to events which took place in each period. I got my info from Wikipedia you can look there for more info.
What are some of the pros and cons of storage units?
The benefits to storage units include: Low monthly fees, space for transitional periods and a place to hold items which are not in use but cannot be thrown away. The disadvantages to storage units include: Scarcity, possibility of damage and the cost which is no longer beneficial when storage units are used for more than a few months.
What is the geologic term for 1billion?
An eon is half a billion years or more.
Would geologic time be more like 12 years 100 years 1000 years or 1 million years?
Geologic time is very long, so a million or more years is the best choice.
In geologic time how did the moon appear?
Bigger with more mass, and had more light, so brighter too.
