Lesson description

The Geologic Time Scale is a system of chronological dating that relates geological strata to time. It is used by geologists, paleontologists, and other Earth scientists to describe the timing and relationships of events in Earth's history. The scale divides Earth's 4.6 billion-year history into distinct intervals of time, categorized into eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages.
