Answer:

The subdivision of the 'geologic time scale' which represents the 'longest time span' is called an eon.

Explanation:

  • On the timescale of geologic history, an 'eon' is a period made up of 1 billion years. The one we are living in is the 5th eon.
  • An 'era' which is a period shorter than eon lasts for hundreds of million years. Eras are divided in different 'geological periods'.
  • An epoch is a geologic timespan of more than 3 million years.
