the record of life forms and geologic events in earth's history is actually called the "Geologic time scale" fine sir. good day
Stratigraphy is the source of the record.

The pangae was formed
An era, in geologic terms, is a geological time period encompassing two or more geologic periods.
The geological time scale is the geologic history of the planet from formation to the present. It starts with large divisions of time called eons and is subdivided into successively smaller units of time based on dominant lifeforms, extinction events, even climate. The development of the geologic time scale was initially based on the observation and reasoning that deeper layers of rock are generally older than less deep layers in what is called the "Law of Superposition".Paleontologists look for index fossils in fossil bearing sedimentary rock. Index fossils are organisms that were widespread, rapidly evolving, and only existed for a short period of time as evidenced by their appearance in the fossil record of specific rock strata. The appearance of a fossil alongside an index fossil gives a rough approximation of the age of the fossil in relative terms as it would appear on the geologic time scale. The appearance of the same fossil alongside index fossils of different geologic ages means that the fossil organism spanned multiple geologic time periods. Associations of specific strata alongside radiographically datable igneous and metamorphic rock determines the absolute age of a fossil.A period of around 4,600,000,000 years, the largest groupings of geologic time are eons, followed in descending order by era, period, epoch, and age.The geologic time scale is very important, especially in fields involving the exploration and retrieval of fossil fuels, which are geologically date range specific.
fossils contained within the rock. got answers from Earth Science book while doing my HW

Geologic Time. It's called the Geologic Time Scale.
The history of the planet.A record of the geologic events and life forms the earth's history.
geologic time scale
The geologic time scale shows the timing and relationship of events that have occurred throughout Earth's history.
The rocks of Earth's crust, especially sedimentary rocks
I believe the history of the creation of the earth is one.
A geologic time scale is a scale that was developed by scientists to show when and for how long different events happened in the Earth's history. Some events included on the scale are when plant life appeared, when mountains were formed and when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. The geologic time scale divides Earth's history into periods such as the Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic periods.
This odd-sounding dictum is a summary of Scottish geologist Charles Lyell's idea of uniformatarianism, the idea that geologic processes that are currently occurring are the same processes that occurred in the past. In short, the historical and observable geologic events that are occurring are the 'key' to unlocking the history of the geologic events that have occurred and were recorded in the rock record.
Relative dating is the process that places geologic events in the proper sequence.
yes. It gives vital clues to uncover the events that once occurred on earth.
The four eras of geologic time are the Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic. These eras represent significant periods in Earth's history, each characterized by distinct geological and biological events.
