Eons are the largest divisions of geologic time.
Epochs
The largest divisions of the geologic time scale are: Hadean Eon (4.6 to 3.8 billion years ago) Archaen Eon (3.8 to 2.5 billion years ago; this is when the first bacteria existed) Proterozoic Eon (3.8 billion to 542 million years ago) Phanerozoic Eon (542 million years ago through today; this is when the first complex multicellular life forms evolved.)
The information the geologic scale provides is animals and fossils over time and periods. Major divisions of time is called eras.
time scale that geological can back the past of the hundreds of years
The geologic time scale is the system of chronology that organizes the Earth's history based on stratigraphy, or the study of Earth's rock layers and their ages. The geologic time scale is divided into several spans of time. From longest to shortest they are: Eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages.
Rocks contain what we call "Clocks" these can be minerals which are resistant to weathering such as Zircon. They are used to estimate absolute ages of Geological structures.Using these clocks combined with the Geological events i.e drastic Changes to the earths environment leading especially to extinction of specific animal species eg.Dinasours and the type of Organisms that existed at that time,the geological time scale is born
The Precambrian.
Periods
The information the geologic scale provides is animals and fossils over time and periods. Major divisions of time is called eras.
The geological time scale organizes a long period of time.
Eras are based one the worldwide changes in types of fossils. Periods are based on types of life worldwide. The Cenozoic era is the geological time scale is divided into both periods and epoch.
Both epochs and eras are divisions of geological timeThe largest of the time divisions are Super-Eons.Super-Eons are sub divided into Eons.Eons are sub divided into Eras.Eras are sub divided into PeriodsPeriods are sub divided into EpochsEpochs are sub divided into Ages.
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.
