Geologic time is unimaginably long. Geologists puzzle it out using a calendar called the Geologic Time Scale.
This site provides a table of time scales. It contains the geologic time scale, plus astronomical scales, and the geological eras. The Geological Time
Geological time represented as a dial and interpreted on the basis (a) that rates of radioactive decay have been constant, (b) that they have exponentially declined.
Geological Time Scale drawn up during an internship at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta.

We spent about a week learning about Earth’s four eons and most recent eras. Today I wanted to share several of the activities we did to go along with this part of our unit. As you may recall, we reviewed the planets in the Solar System, talked about the age of the Earth (4.6 Billion years) and did an impressionistic activity to show how short human history actually is compared to...
Wow! How to summarize 4.5 billion years of events? A lot happened. Here is a pic to get you going. You can also check out this site which has a cool little sliding tool to show you events over time. http://exploringorigins.org/timeline.html Here are the highlights: 1) Big bang produced the universe 13.6 billion years ago 2) solar system starts to form from a gas nebulae 4.6 billion years 3) Earth forms about 4.5 billion years and is shortly thereafter struck by a giant proto-planet - causes the moon to spin off and go into permanent orbit. 4) Oceans and atmosphere form about the same time. 5) first life forms around 3.8 billion years ago in the oceans 6) first photosynthesising algae start to pump oxygen into the atmosphere. Planet becomes oxygenated 2.5 Billon years ago. 7) first multi-cellular organisms evolve around 600 million years ago. 8) explosion of bivalves and trilobites in the oceans around 550 million years ago. 9) plants and first amphibians colonize the land - around 350 million years ago Vertebrates first evolve around this time. 10) the great dying event around 250 million years ago kills off 90% of species - super greenhouse event. 11) dinosaures thrive for over 135 million years - first small mammals evolve around 100 million years ago. 12) Dinosaurs killed by giant asteroid impact - 65 million years. 13 ) Mammals take over niches previously occupied by dinos. 14) first early primates and our ancestors evolve around 10 million years ago.. 15) modern humans evolve around 200,000 years ago. 16) present day - humans start to have a major impact on the planet - land, oceans and atmosphere.
