Since the mid-1990s, geologists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), State geological surveys, academia, and other organizations have sought a consistent time scale that can be used in communicating ages of geologic units in the United States. Many international debates have occurred over the names and

The odd names of the different time periods on the Geological Time Scale were made up by geologists. Geologists divide the history of Earth into several different time units. The longest time unit is called an “eon.” Eons are divided into shorter time intervals called “eras,” and eras are divided into even shorter times called ...

To find the history of the Earth, scientists look at rock and sediment layers. Each layer indicates a page in time of Earth's history. Several layers create a chapter of time, like in a book, noted as Eras, Periods, and Epochs. The oldest layers being at the bottom of the Time Scale and the youngest layers being at the top. It is important for

Dense metals sank to the centre of the Earth and formed the core, while the outside layer cooled and solidified to form the Earth’s crust. 4400 mya – The Earth’s first oceans formed. Water vapour was released into the Earth’s atmosphere by volcanism. It then cooled, fell back down as rain, and formed the Earth’s first oceans.

Precambrian time was the longest part of Earth’s his-tory. It lasted from the time the Earth formed, 4.6 billion years ago, until about 542 million years ago. Life on Earth began during this time. Scientists think that the early Earth was very different than the Earth today. On the early Earth, the atmosphere contained very little oxygen.

However, geologists have developed the geological time scale, which divides the Earth’s history into eons that are subdivided into eras, which are further divided into periods and then into epochs.

common framework for talking about geological time – a geochronology. This involves slicing up Earth’s geological history into a hierarchy of geochronological time intervals. The longest of these are Eons, and these are separated into different Eras. Eras are subdivided into Periods, which in turn are subdivided into Epochs.

The Earth is very old 41/2 billion years or more according to recent estimates. This vast span of time, called geologic time by earth scientists, is difficult to comprehend in the familiar time units of months and years, or even centuries. How then do scientists reckon geologic time, and why do they believe the Earth is so old?
