The Geological Society has this page, but there are few events mentioned: http://www.geosociety.org/science/timescale/There is an iPhone app for the Geologic Time Scale. And, the makers website has a demo with some of the facts illustrated: http://www.tasagraphicarts.com/geotimescale.htmlDandan@apps4education.com
It is an epoch.
false
it's based on the types of fossils and rocks
Eons are the largest divisions of geologic time.
IT encompasses all of the geological time period that have happened since the begin of time
Geological time starts at the Big bang. For example, if a scientist says that a 1000years is not a long time in "geological time" they simply mean on a timescale a thousand years in nothing
Chronostratigraphic divisions of the geologic timescale are in units of geological material, while geochronologic divisions are periods of time. It is important to make this distinction because while you can visit a deposit of fossils from a certain time period (the geological material; chronostratigraphy), you can visit the actual time period (geochronology).

It is important to complete projects within an agreed timescale because it guarantees that the project will get done on time. Having a timescale to complete a project also allows workers to plan how they will accomplish the goal.
The geological time scale organizes a long period of time.
Geological " deep " time gives ample time for evolutionary processes to occur.
Earthquake is one of the geological process that occurs the shortest amount of time.
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.
For most geological processes, 100 years is a very short time, so to answer your question, no.
