The term TIME GEOLOGIC is composed of two words, AZOIC and TIME. AZOIC is a five-letter word meaning 'of or relating to a geological era before the appearance of life.' This term is used in geology to refer to the period of TIME before the emergence of life on Earth. TIME, on the other hand, is a four-letter word meaning 'the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.' This term is used to refer to the measurement of the duration of events or the intervals between them. Together, these two words form the term TIME GEOLOGIC, which is used to refer to the geological era before the emergence of life on Earth.
