A geological timeline can be regarded as a system which gives the relationship between geological strata as well as events based on chronological time. This helps the scientist in studying events as well as frequency of events to Know if there are chances of recurrence of that particular event.Examples of this event could be eclipse of sun that usually occur at some point in time.The geologic time scale also helps in portraying the history of the Earth such as rocks and fossils.

Explanation:

A Geological timeline can also be regarded as a Geological timescale. It is preferably called a Geological Timescale(GTS).

The geologic timeline was developed using both relative dating and absolute dating techniques.

In relative dating, events are documented based on the relationship of rock sequences and fossils to each other.

Absolute dating gives an exact date using some techniques to ascertain them. The technique adopted is isotopic dating of radioactive elements trapped in rocks.

A geologic time scale is armed with a portion that reads the absolute date of event. The other part expresses the relationship between events(relative date).

The time scale contains a run down of event that has happened since the formation of the earth about 4.6billion years ago.

The time scale serves as a reference often times to understand events that has happened in the earth. It is used widely as a yard stick for constructing the geologic history of a particular terrane.

A sound knowledge of the timescale helps to reconstruct accurately how an area has changed with time and its evolution.

A geologic time scale is the bench mark for most geologic reasoning. Geologists wants to know how making sense of rocks in a particular area can help furnish them with knowledge of other terrane.
