DEFINITION PHYSICAL PROCESSES SHAPE THE FEATURES OF THE EARTHS SURFACEE. XAMPLES OF THESE ARE CLIFFS, MOUNTAINS, VALLEYS AND BEACHES. - THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PHYSICAL PROCESSES, LONG-TERM AND SHORT-TERMT. HESE ARE VIEWED THROUGH GEOLOGICAL TIME.

GEOLOGICAL TIME • THE GEOLOGIC TIME SCALE (GTS) IS A SYSTEM OF CHRONOLOGICAL DATING THAT RELATES GEOLOGICAL STRATA (STRATIGRAPHY)TIME TO. IT IS USED BY GEOLOGISTS, PALEONTOLOGISTS, AND OTHER EARTH SCIENTISTS TO DESCRIBE THE TIMING AND RELATIONSHIPS OF EVENTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED DURINGEARTH'S HISTORY. • A GEOLOGICAL STRATA IS A LAYER OF SEDIMENTARYROCK OR SOIL, OR IGNEOUS ROCK THAT WERE FORMED AT THE EARTH'S SURFACE, WITH INTERNALLY CONSISTENT CHARACTERISTICS THAT DISTINGUISH IT FROM OTHER LAYERS.

GEOLOGICAL TIME • THIS IS DIVIDED INTO 5 DIFFERENT SCALESE , ON, ERA, EPOCH, PERIOD AND AGE • HTTPS: //WWW. YOUTUBE. COM/WATCH? V=R WP 5 ZPJAIAE

EON • THE LARGEST DIVISION OF GEOLOGICAL TIME, COMPRISING TWO OR MOREERAS.

ERA • A MAJOR DIVISION OF TIME THAT IS A SUBDIVISION OF AN EON DEFINED. FOR THE PURPOSES OF CHRONOLOGY OR HISTORIOLOGY.

EPOCH • A SUBDIVISION OF THE GTS THAT IS LONGER THAN AN AGE BUT SHORTER THAN A PERIOD OF TIME IN HISTORY OR A PERSONS LIFE TYPICALLY DEFINED BY NOTABLE EVENTS OR PARTICULAR CHARACTERISTICS.

PERIOD • A MAJOR DIVISION OF GEOLOGICAL TIME THAT IS A SUBDIVISION OF AN ERAT. HESE PERIODS FORM ELEMENTS OF A HIERARCHY OF DIVISIONS INTO WHICH GEOLOGISTS HAVE SPLIT THE EARTHS HISTORY.

AGE • A SUBDIVISION OFGEOLOGIC TIME THAT DIVIDES ANEPOCH INTO SMALLER PARTS.

SO HOW LONG HAVE HUMANS BEEN ON EARTH IF WE BASED THIS TIME ON A 24 HR PERIOD.

HOW HAVE PHYSICAL PROCESSES SHAPED THE EARTH? • EARTHQUAKES • VOLCANOES • FLOODING • HURRICANES

HOW HAVE HUMANS DEALT WITH THESE? • BUILDINGS • DAMNS

WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE LIVE IN HIGH RISK AREAS?
