Question

Which is the correct order of geological time scale from longest to shortest?

  1. Eon rightwards arrow Era rightwards arrow Epoch rightwards arrow Period
  2. Eon rightwards arrow Era rightwards arrow Period rightwards arrow Epoch
  3. Eon rightwards arrow Epoch rightwards arrow Era rightwards arrow Period
  4. Era rightwards arrow Eon rightwards arrow Epoch rightwards arrow Period

The correct answer is: Eon rightwards arrow Era rightwards arrow Period rightwards arrow Epoch


    The geological time scale provides the calendar for the events of Earth’s history. It divides Earth’s history into geological time periods. Based on fossil records, scientists have classified geological time scales into four subdivisions, namely – Eons, Eras, Periods, and Epochs.
