4.6 billion years
5 billion years
The geologic time scale covers the entire history of Earth, which spans approximately 4.6 billion years. It is divided into eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages to categorize and study Earth's history.
The geologic time scale is a framework that organizes Earth's history into eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages. While the broad structure of the time scale remains relatively stable, refinements and adjustments are made as new research and insights emerge. These changes help to improve our understanding of Earth's history and the relationships between different geological events.
The current era in the geologic time scale is the Cenozoic era, which began about 66 million years ago and continues to the present day. It is characterized by the dominance of mammals and the diversification of plant life.
The eras of the geologic time scale are the Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic. Within these eras are various periods, such as the Devonian and Jurassic periods within the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, respectively. These divisions help geologists categorize Earth's history into manageable segments based on significant geological and biological events.
86cm is a unit of length and cannot be converted into age as age is a measure of time since birth.
Pangea existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras, approximately 300-175 million years ago. This supercontinent began to break apart around 175 million years ago, leading to the formation of the continents as we know them today.

The presence or absence of fossils has been used to compare the relative ages of rocks around the world and to arrange sedimentary rocks into a geologic time scale. Eons are the largest intervals of the time scale and range from 540 to 2,050 million years in length
The geologic time scale.
The Geologic Time Scale is measured in years, often in millions or billions of years. The age of our solar system is about 4.5 billion years. The 'geo' part of the name means it refers to our Earth.

Geologic Time. It's called the Geologic Time Scale.
Precambrian is the largest division of the geologic time scale.
Phanerozoic is the eon which geologic time scale means visable life.
The Precambrian
in the scope of geologic time, how significant is the presence of humans?
Cenozoic
On a geologic time scale, yes. On any other time scale, no.
