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.

How does nitrogen leave a food chain?
vitfil [10]

Answer: c

Explanation: Plants and animals need nitrogen to make proteins but they cannot take it in from the air. Because nitrogen is unreactive as a gas, it has to be transformed into a new molecule. When bacteria in the soil takes nitrogen from the air, it becomes nitrates. Finally, it can move through the food chain in this form.
