Periodi di tempi geologici

La scala dei tempi geologici riguarda l'entità della esistenza della Terra, da circa 4600 milioni di anni fa ai giorni nostri. E 'caratterizzato da Global Boundary sezioni stratotipo e punti. Unità di tempo geologico sono (in ordine decrescente di specificità) eoni, ere, periodi, epoche, e le età, e le corrispondenti unità cronostratigrafica, che rock "misura-time", sono eonothems, erathems, sistemi, serie, e le fasi.
I tempi secondo e il terzo sono entrambi sottosezioni della loro sequenza temporale che precede, come indicato da un asterisco. Il Cenozoico è talvolta divisa in Terziario e del Quaternario periodi, anche se il loro uso non è più ufficiale.

List of archaeological periods
Names for archaeological periods vary enormously from region to region. This is a list of the main divisions by continent and region. Dating also varies considerably and those given are broad approximations across wide areas.
The three-age system has been used in many areas, referring to the prehistory periods identified by tool manufacture and use, of Stone age, Bronze age and Iron age. Since these ages are distinguished by the development of technology, it is natural that the dates to which these refer vary in different parts of the world. In many regions, the term Stone age is no longer used, as it has been replaced by more specific geological periods. For some regions, there is need for an intermediate Chalcolithic period between the stone age and Bronze Age. For cultures where indigenous metal tools were in less widespread use, other classifications, such as the lithic stage, archaic stage and formative stage refer to the development of other types of technology and social organisation.
Historical periods refer to periods of human development after the development of writing. Historical records in whatever form tend to provide more political insight into the dominant nations, and hence allow categorization according to the ruling empires and cultures, such as Hellenistic, Roman, Viking. Inevitably these definitions of periods only relate to the region of that empire or culture.
The Industrial age or Modern era is generally taken to refer to post 1800. From this time, the industrial revolution which began in Western Europe had resulted in global trade as well as global empires.
