Geologic Time Scale correct answersthe "calendar" for events in Earth history. It subdivides all time into named units of abstract time called—in descending order of duration— eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages. ● Thanks to the work of early geologists like Steno, Arduino, and Smith, modern scientists have used these and other clues to create what we now call the Geologic Time Scale,or GTS. ● The GTS has been reworked many times to reflect the latest knowledge of Earth's histo...
