The geologic time scale is referred to as the system of chronological dating which is related to geological strata to time. It is used by palaeontologists, geologists and earth scientists to describe the relationship of events and timing that occurs during Earth’s history. The primary division of time is defined as eons. Eons follow a sequence of the Archean, the Hadean and the Proterozoic which are referred as Precambrian superon.

Eons are divided into an era whereby those eras are subdivided into periods, ages, and epochs. Eon, epoch, period and ages correspond with eonothem, series, systems and stage which are mostly used to refer to layers of rock which then stretches to geologic time in the history of the earth.

¿Cuál es la importancia de la fusión nuclear? What is the importance of nuclear fusion?

Without it, there are no stars, including our own sun, and there wouldn’t be us talking about it.

It is used in particularly destructive bombs.

At a tiny scale, it can be used to produce neutrons, eg, a Farnsworth Fusor.

At a large scale, we have yet to figure out how to make controlled fusion work in a way that runs for a long time and generates collectible power we can use to feed the process. This has remained elusively 20 years out from the current state of affairs for 50 years.

If it was made to work, then it would probably be a good source of clean energy that would be safer than many of the non-renewable alternatives.

I don’t expect to live to see it happen.

In Stabilization Selection there is a decrease in the amount of variation. In the case of Stabilization Selection, selective pressures must select against two extremes of a particular trait. Two opposing selection pressures will combine to maintain a median height. Rather than resulting in extremely tall plants or extremely short plants, the majority of the plants in this population will be of medium height.</span>
