		Geologic time scale is sequence, built in the chronological order for events of a geological history of planetary bodies and intervals of time, appropriate to them.
		Geologic time involves two types of time scales: chronometric or geochronologic, based on measured intervals of time (periods) derived from laboratory analysis of rock samples, and chronostratigraphic, which represents chronological sequence of rock emplacement.
		Rilles are common features on the surface of the Moon, and are present on several of the terrestrial planets.

		Major features of the Solar System (not to scale): The Sun, the eight planets, the asteroid belt containing the dwarf planet Ceres, outermost there is the dwarf planet Pluto (the dwarf planet Eris not shown), and a comet.
		The largest, Triton, is geologically active, with geysers of liquid nitrogen, and is the only large satellite to revolve around its host planet in a prograde (clockwise) motion.
		The conceptual advances of the 17th century, led by Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, and Isaac Newton, led gradually to the acceptance of the idea not only that Earth moved round the Sun, but that the planets were governed by the same laws that governed the Earth, and therefore could be similar to it.

		During the period 1880 to 1925, several telescopic maps of topographic and geological features of Mercury and Mars were produced.
		From these photographs, the first detailed geological maps of the Moon were made, thus establishing a new area of planetary photo-geologic mapping.

		Major features of the Solar System (not to scale, from left to right): Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, a comet, Jupiter, Ceres which lies in the asteroid belt, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Moon, and Mars.
		Mercury is very different from the other terrestrial planets; it has no natural satellite, and its only known geological features besides impact craters are "wrinkle ridges" probably produced by a period of contraction early in its history.
		Although no definitive evidence of current geological activity has yet been detected on Venus, its substantial atmosphere and lack of a magnetic field to protect it from depletion by the solar wind suggest that it must be regularly replenished by volcanic eruptions.

		In general, the feature type (Latin or Greek descriptor) remains the same regardless of its size; that is, a ridge is a "dorsum" whether it is 10 or 1000 km long.
		Named features on bodies so small that coordinates have not yet been determined are identified on drawings of the body that are included in the IAU Transactions volume of the year when the names were adopted (see also figure 1).
		The boundaries of many large features (such as terrae, regiones, planitiae, and plana) are not topographically or geomorphically distinct; the coordinates of these features are identified from an arbitrarily chosen center point.

	Impact crater Summary
		An impact crater is a physical scar on a planetary body's surface (topographic depression or geological structure) that is the result of hypervelocity impact by a minor planet, such as an asteroid, comet, or meteorite.

		It was the result of an asteroid impact on the planet's surface early in the solar system's history, the probable cause of the strange surfaces on the opposite side of the planet.
		The outer crust, called the lithosphere, was compressed and grew strong enough to prevent the planet's magma from reaching the surface, effectively ending the planet's period of geologic activity.
		Mars has some remarkable geological characteristics, including the largest volcanic mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons (27 km high and 600 km across); volcanoes in the northern Tharsis region that are so huge they deform the planet's roundness; and a gigantic equatorial rift valley, the Valles Marineris.

		A number of researchers, most notably Eugene M. Shoemaker, conducted detailed studies of the craters that provided clear evidence that they had been created by impacts, identifying the shock-metamorphic effects uniquely associated with impacts, of which the most familiar is Shocked quartz.
		Armed with the knowledge of shock-metamorphic features, Carlyle S. Beals and colleagues at the Dominion Observatory, (Victoria, British Columbia, Canada), and Wolf von Engelhardt of the University of TÃ¼bingen in Germany began a methodical search for "impact structures".
		These include fracture patterns in crystals of quartz and feldspar, and formation of high-pressure materials such as diamond, derived from graphite and other carbon compounds, or stishovite and coesite, varieties of shocked quartz.

		Although Erikson always insisted that he was a Freudian, subsequent authors have described him as an "ego psychologist," insofar as, in contrast to the stress laid in orthodox Freudianism on the id, Erikson emphasised the ego.
		Each of Erikson's stages of psychosocial development are marked by a conflict, for which successful resolution will result in a favourable outcome, for example, trust vs. mistrust, and by an important event that this conflict resolves itself around, for example, weaning.
		For example, by showing how children progressively enrich their understanding of things by acting on and reflecting on the effects of their own previous knowledge, they are able to organize their knowledge in increasingly complex structures.
