Resumo
A descoberta do tempo geológico revolucionou o pensamento científico e conduziu ao desenvolvimento das modernas Ciências da Terra. Apesar disso, pouca atenção é dada para as consequências culturais e sociais de longo alcance do tempo geológico, que vão bem além de sua influência sobre as Geociências. Este ensaio resume a literatura que descreve a dificuldade que os estudantes encontram para compreender o tempo profundo, fornece uma visão geral do desenvolvimento histórico e a relevância cultural do tempo profundo, e sugere maneiras de aumentar a compreensão dos alunos sobre o significado do tempo geológico.Referências
