How did geologists decide where one division of the geologic time scale ends and the next begins?

the law of superpostion

events in the history of life on earth, like mass extinctions

they divided the time equally between eras

the placement of fossils throughout the surface layers of earth

the form of energy changes and the total energy increases0l

if the hares very faster than they are now, and thus the lynx's hunting success rate drops because it will be harder to catch them, the rate that will change will be the pray-rate. the pray-rate will change because more hares will be able to survive, thus more individuals for reproduction, so the end result will be increasing population of hares.

the predator-rate will remain pretty much the same because there will be more than enough pray, but the hunting success rate is stagnant.
