The geologic time scale is the system of chronology that organizes the Earth's history based on stratigraphy, or the study of Earth's rock layers and their ages.
The geologic time scale is divided into several spans of time. From longest to shortest they are: Eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages.

∙ 11y agoit is mainly usefull for showing the scale of events for geological proceces, for example the formation of mountains, takes a very long time to form montains so it is simpler to use a timescale than to calculet the number of years, also things like that may take different amounts of time to finish.
