BlakeAn eon is the largest division of geologic time, lasting billions of years. An era is a subdivision of an eon, typically lasting hundreds of millions of years. A period is a smaller division of geologic time, lasting millions of years, and an epoch is an even smaller division of time, typically lasting tens of millions of years.

Put time divisions in order from longest to shortest?
Eon, Era, and Epoch: APEX :D
Which series of words describes length of geologic time from longest to shortest?
Eon, era, period, epoch.
What denotes the divisions of the geologic time scale in correct order of decreasing lengths of time beginning with the longest time interval and ending with the shortest?
Eon, era, period, epoch.
What is the order of epoch eon era and period from big to small?
The order from largest to smallest is eon, era, period, and epoch. Eons are the longest divisions of time, followed by eras which encompass multiple eons, then periods which are subdivisions of eras, and finally epochs which are subdivisions of periods.
How do you order the geologic time intervals to longest to shortest?
The geologic time intervals from longest to shortest are eon, era, period, epoch, and age. This hierarchical sequence represents the largest divisions (eons) to the smallest subdivisions (ages) of Earth's history.
