Answer 1

The two correct answers you could determine by reading the geologic time scale are:

1. the number of eras in Earth's history
2. the life forms that lived in each era

These aspects are typically presented in a geologic time scale. While the events that ended major divisions of geologic time may also be inferred, the scale primarily focuses on the duration of time periods and the corresponding life forms. The age of Earth, while it can be estimated, is not explicitly stated in terms of a precise number in the geologic time scale itself.
