This is a simplified answer leaving much to be explained. Geologic time takes in all that has happened on earth since the Archaen Eon about 4 billion years ago. Informally it goes back to the Hadean 4.6 billion years ago. The distinction here is because the time scale was created by ...
The geologic time scale is a system used by scientists to describe Earth's history in terms of major geological or paleontological events (such as the formation of a new rock layer or the appearance or demise of certain lifeforms). Geologic time spans are divided into units and subunits, the...

The last paragraph of the preceding section encompasses a number of ideas, which now need to be explained, in at least general terms. The term Precambrian encompasses about four billion years of Earth's history, including three of the four eons (Hadean or Priscoan, Archaean, and Proterozoic)...
Scaling is explained as a refinement of ranking. Implications of techniques of sampling stratigraphic sections are discussed. RASC probable positions with error bars can be determined in different sections for CASC correlation over long distances. This process makes use of spline-curve fitting (sp...
a geological theory that maintains that some geological phenomena can be explained by extensive flooding of large areas of the earth’s surface or by an equally strong condition of the weather. epeirogeny,epeirogenesis the vertical movement or tilting of the earth’s crust, affecting broad expans...
Apollo Basin within the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon, which means materials ejected from ancient terrain may be collected in the process. "Our map can provide a macroscopic geologic background to improve the purpose and efficiency of the sample research," Liu explained....

In this paper we describe potential impacts to groundwater quality due to CO2 and brine leakage, discuss an approach to calculate thresholds under which “no impact” to groundwater occurs, describe the time scale for impact on groundwater, and discuss the probability of detecting a groundwater ...
(5), as explained in Sect. 2.2. Figure 4 synthetizes the results of the analysis. For each parameter the contribution calculated through Eq. (11) which quantifies the relative impact on expected output variations is reported. Here the 20 parameters displaying the highest contributions are ...
