Why have geologists divided the earths history into time periods?
Rock formation, layering and composition, and the plant and animal fossil record, all help to form a time-line.
What do geologists believe heats thee upper mantle portion of the asthenosphere?
Geologists believe that the upper mantle portion of the asthenosphere is primarily heated by the residual heat left over from the formation of the Earth, known as radiogenic heat. This heat is generated by the decay of radioactive isotopes present in the mantle. Other sources of heat include the heat transferred from the core and the heat produced by ongoing mantle convection.

Uniformitarian geologists will use this method to determine which layer of rock formed at which time period of earth's history, and the order of the formation.
