Here's an explanation to help answer the question

Eons are divided into eras, which are in turn divided into periods, epochs and ages. The terms "eonothem", "erathem", "system", "series", and "stage" are used to refer to the layers of rock that correspond to these periods of geologic time in Earth's history.

Answer:

D. Eras and then smaller periods based on geologic and biologic events that occurred.

Explanation:

Geologic time corresponds to a chronological scale that encompasses the billions of years of planet Earth, from its origin to the present day. Geologic time is represented on the geological time scale and is divided into four units, namely: eons, ages, minor periods and epochs. This division is based on geological and biological events that have occurred since the formation of the earth to the present day.

We need to distinguish between the geological timescale and the historical timescale. Geologic time refers to the process of the emergence, formation and transformation of planet Earth. Historical time, in turn, refers to the emergence of human civilizations and their capacity for written communication.

kolezko [41]

Answer with Explanation:

Let's start first with water on the Earth's moon. This is called "lunar water."

The moon was thought to be barren by scientists long time ago. However, they found out that there are actually <em>water reserves located in the shadowed craters.</em> It is said that the formation of this water was possible with the existence of <u>Oxygen atoms in the lunar rocks and minerals. </u>Due to the <u>solar wind</u> that blew into the place, <u>the Hydrogen ions from the wind combined with the Oxygen in order to form water.</u> So, the water that is found here is relatively fresh.

Let's go to "water on Mars." This is said to be <em>more older than the water on the moon</em> and is actually not that pure for it consists of some mixtures of rocks. It is said that billions of years ago, Mars had an abundant supply of water, but due to climate change, the supply didn't last long. As a result, the planet dried out and only the areas in the polar and mid-latitude regions have water<em> (in the form of ice).</em> This ice melts and refreezes, depending on the temperature. This is an evidence that people may possibly live on Mars.
