Eons are the largest division of geologic time, and they are subdivided into eras, periods, and epochs.
Here's a breakdown of the geologic time scale:
* Eon: The largest division of geologic time, spanning hundreds of millions to billions of years.
* Era: A subdivision of an eon, spanning tens to hundreds of millions of years.
* Period: A subdivision of an era, spanning millions of years.
* Epoch: A subdivision of a period, spanning hundreds of thousands to millions of years.
For example, the current eon is the Phanerozoic Eon, which is subdivided into the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras.
