What is the basis on which the subdivisions in a Geological time scale are made

Biology
1 answer:
Andru [333]3 years ago
3 0
 <span>The geologic time scale is divided into periods, which are then divided into epochs, which are further divided into ages. For example, the time of the dinosaurs lasted 3 periods (Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous), each period had 3 epochs (late, early, middle), and each age fit into one of those. Many epochs have more than 1 age associated with them. 
As for the basis for differentiating the eras, I'm not so sure. The only one I can say for sure is the end of the Cretaceous, which is when the dinosaurs suddenly became extinct due to a meteor impact. I think the divisions are based on significant, global-scale events that changed the world.

Sorry its so long but that the answer i think >:) ur welcome

Being a visual learner have you got any tips on how to study science?
sukhopar [10]
Even being a visual learner the trick is to take notes, even if you never look at the notes ever again its good to write them down, you are more likely to remember something you have written down rather than to just look at it. Science is something that could be easy, you just have to take it at your own pace, don't try to learn science by giving it a quick read or glance at it.
