The first shows the entire time from the formation of the Earth to the present, but this gives little space for the most recent eon. The second timeline shows an expanded view of the most recent eon. In a similar way, the most recent era is expanded in the third timeline, the most recent period is expanded in the fourth timeline, and the most ...
|labels= optional - Sets geological time labels to be displayed (era, period, epoch, age) Period options: cenozoic not functional - displays entire Cenozoic timescale; quaternary not functional - displays Quaternary timescale; neogene not functional - displays Neogene timescale; paleogene not functional - displays Paleogene timescale
It is recommended not to use this parameter unless absolutely necessary.

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 (a scientific branch of geology that aims to determine the age of rocks).
Template documentation Use this row as part of {{ Simple Horizontal timeline }} , specifying the start date as a parameter. If you want wikilinking, set link = yes .
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{Geological history of Earth | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{Geological history of Earth | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
