What categories are in the geologic time scale?
Eon, Era, Period, Epoch (from largest to smallest)
What eon was the mesozoic era in?
The Jurassic Period of geologic time spanned from 206 to 144 million years ago. It was preceded by the Triassic Period and followed by the Cretaceous Period, all three comprising the Mesozoic Era.
What era comes after the Precambrian period?
The Precambrian is the informal time before the Cambrian Period.It is informally called a Super-Eon and certainly not a geological Era.Geological time intervals from largest to smallest :-Super-Eon - AEonothem (informal)Eon - EonothemEra - ErathemPeriod - SystemEpoch - SeriesAge - StageChron - Chronozone (informal)
Is an Era shorter than an eon?
== In geology and paleontology, an eon is the largest division of time. Eons are then divided into eras, and eras are divided into periods. So yes, an era is shorter than an eon. More And then periods are divided into series or epochs
The largest division of geological time is called?
The Archean Eon, which is part of the Precambrian period along with the Proterozoic Eon.
What is the name of the subdivisions of a qeologic period?
Eon --> Era --> sub-Era --> Period We are currently in: * Phanerozoic Eon * Cenozoic Era * Tertiary sub-Era * Quaternary Period
Differentiate between and eon an era a period and an epoch?
eon is the period now .
What were the three major time periods?
Eon, era, period. Our Earth Science teacher told us to remember it as MEEP: majors eon era period. MEEP.
What is the present geological eon?
We currently live in the Holocene Epoch of the Quaternary Period of the Cenozoic Era of the Phanerozoic Eon.
What is the order of epoch eon era and period from big to small?
From largest to smallest Eon, Era, Period, Epoch. Time is also listed from largest to smallest as: millennium, century, decade, year, month, week, day.
What is a long period of time called?
A long period of time is commonly referred to as an era or epoch.
What categories are in the geologic time scale?

What are the basic unit of the geological time scale?
The smallest unit of geologic time is an age, followed by epoch, period, era, eon, and super eon.
From smallest to largest geologic time is divided into?
Chron Age Epoch Period Era Eon
