A Simple Presentation depicting the concepts os Stratigraphy. The Stratigraphy is a branch of geology concerned with the study of rock layers and layering .
The geologic time scale, or geological time scale, (GTS) is a representation of time based on the rock record of Earth. It is a system of chronological dating that uses chronostratigraphy (the process of relating strata to time) and geochronology (scientific branch of geology that aims to determine the age of rocks). It is used primarily by Earth scientists (including geologists, paleontologists, geophysicists, geochemists, and paleoclimatologists) to describe the timing and relationships of events in geologic history. The time scale has been developed through the study of rock layers and the observation of their relationships and identifying features such as lithologies, paleomagnetic properties, and fossils. The definition of standardized international units of geologic time is the responsibility of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), a constituent body of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS), whose primary objective[1] is to precisely define global chronostratigraphic units of the International Chronostratigraphic Chart (ICC)[2] that are used to define divisions of geologic time. The chronostratigraphic divisions are in turn used to define geochronologic units.[2]

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
3. Geologic Timeline
• “calendar” for events in Earth’s history.
• it serves as standard timeline used to describe the age of
rocks, fossils, and the events that formed them.
• A device which is of great help to the science of geology
owed to the explorations and studied made by the
geologists that were recorded.
• The geologic time scale provides a system of
chronologic measurement relating stratigraphy to
time that is used by geologists, paleontologists and
other Earth scientists to describe the timing and
relationships between events that have occurred
during the history of the Earth.
4. The necessity of knowing how life began
in the past, the events, and principles
behind the Earth’s history enable us to
conform with the alterations or
consequences that we might encounter or
experience in the near future. As a part of the
new generation, we should be appreciative
and accept that all things that are present in
our time were the outcome of Earth’s history.

7. Division of Geologic
Timescale
• Eras are subdivided into periods...periods are
subdivided into epochs.
EONS
• First and largest division of
geologic time
• Greatest expanse of time
• Four eons
• Phanerozoic ("visible
life") –most recent eon
• Proterozoic
• Archean
• Hadean – the oldest
eon
8. Division of Geologic
Timescale
ERAS
Second division of geologic time
PERIODS
• Third division of the geologic time.
• Named for either location or characteristics
of the defining rock formations
EPOCHS
• Fourth division of geologic time
• Represents the subdivisions of a period

16. Paleozoic Era
• It is the beginning of early life.
• All of the continents had come together to
form the supercontinent called Pangea.
• It is characterized by rapid development of
terrestrial plants.
• Devonian period is known as the age of
fishes.
17. Paleozoic Era
• At the end of the Paleozoic, the largest
mass extinction in history wiped out
approximately 90% of all marine animal
species and 70% of land animals.
– Possible causes of this Mass Extinction Event
• Lowering of sea levels when the continents were
rejoined as Pangaea (convergent boundary)
• Increased volcanic activity (ash and dust)
• Climate changes – cooler climate

23. Mesozoic Era – Middle Life
• At the beginning of this era the continents
were joined as Pangaea.
• Pangaea broke up around the middle of this
era. Pangea rifted into Laurasia and
Gondwanaland.
• Reptiles became the most abundant animals
because of their ability to adapt to the drier
climate of the Mesozoic Era.
– Skin maintains body fluids
– Embryos live in shells
24. Mesozoic Era – Middle Life
• Dinosaurs were also very active in this era.
– First small dinosaurs appeared in the Triassic
Period.
– Larger and more abundant dinosaurs appeared
in the Jurassic Period.
• Small mammals and birds also appeared during this
era.
– The mammals were small, warm-blooded
animals. Hair covering their bodies.
These characteristics help them survive in
changing environments.
25.
26. Mesozoic Era – Middle Life
• The main plant life of this time were
Gymnosperms or plants that
produce seeds, but no flowers.
– Pine Trees
• Flowering plants appeared during
the END of this era
27. Mesozoic Era
• This era ended with a mass extinction
event about 65 million years ago.
– Many groups of animals,
including the dinosaurs
disappeared suddenly at this time.
• Meteorite Impact Hypothesis

34. Cenozoic Era – Recent Life
• It is also known as the age of recent life or age of
mammals.
• It has the most complete record of any era because the
rocks are more accessible.
• Began about 65 million years ago and continues today!!!!!
– Climate was warm and mild.
– Marine animals such as whales and dolphins evolved.
• Mammals began to increase and evolve adaptations that
allowed them to live in many different environments – land, air
and the sea.
– Grasses increased and provided a food source for grazing
animals
35. Cenozoic Era
• Many mountain ranges formed during the Cenozoic Era
– Alps in Europe and Himalayas in India; Rocky
Mountains in the USA.
• Growth of these mountains may have helped to cool
down the climate
– Ice Ages occurred late in the Cenozoic Era
(Quaternary Period).
• As the climate changed, the animals had to adapt to the
rise and fall of the oceans caused by melting glaciers.
Editor's Notes
Deposition of sediments contribute to reshaping the surface of the Earth. Deposits
are laid down by different environmental factors such as volcanic eruption, erosion,
weathering debris of rocks (clay and silts) and even all its fossil content and
historical information.
Earth history including its rock strata, the rock study, and discovery, as well as the
fossils, are engraved in one of the most important materials known as geologic
record.
Relative dating does not determine the exact age of rock or fossils but does learn
which one is older or younger than the other.
Relative age of rocks based on the order gives its physical division in the geologic
time scale.
Absolute dating or age measures the amount of radioactive elements in rocks to
give the ages to each division of time in the geologic time scale.
Absolute time refers to the numerical ages in millions of years or some other
measurement.
