在這門學(xué)科的早期,英國(guó)人是最活躍的,因此在地質(zhì)詞語(yǔ)中英國(guó)的名稱占了絕大部分。但是,隨著地質(zhì)學(xué)后來在其他地方的崛起,世界各地的名稱漸漸出現(xiàn)。原先,地質(zhì)史分為4個(gè)時(shí)期的體系過于簡(jiǎn)單,因此壽命不太長(zhǎng)。

Hint:
quaternary



Because the British were the most active in the early years, British names are [-1-] in the geological lexicon. Devonian is of course from the English county of Devon. Cambrian comes from the Roman name for Wales, while Ordovician and Silurian recall ancient Welsh tribes, the Ordovices and Silures. [---2---] Jurassic [-3-] the Jura Mountains on the [-4-] of France and Switzerland. Permian recalls the former Russian province of Perm in the Ural Mountains. ForCretaceous (from the Latin for "chalk") we are indebted to a Belgian geologist with the perky name of J. J. d'Omalius d'Halloy.

Originally, geological history was divided into four spans of time: [-5-]. The system was too neat to last, and soon geologists were contributing additional divisions while eliminating others. [---6---] Today only tertiary remains as a common designation everywhere, even though it no longer represents a third period of anything.




predominant But with the rise of geological prospecting elsewhere, names began to creep in from all over. refers to border primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary Primary and secondary fell out of use altogether, while quaternary was discarded by some but kept by others.
在這門學(xué)科的早期,英國(guó)人是最活躍的,因此在地質(zhì)詞語(yǔ)中英國(guó)的名稱占了絕大部分。泥盆系(即德文系)當(dāng)然源自英格蘭的德文郡。寒武紀(jì)來自羅馬人對(duì)威爾士的叫法,而奧陶紀(jì)和志留紀(jì)使人想起了古代的威爾士人部落:奧陶人和志留人。但是,隨著地質(zhì)學(xué)后來在其他地方的崛起,世界各地的名稱漸漸出現(xiàn)。侏羅紀(jì)跟法國(guó)和瑞士交界處的侏羅山有關(guān)。二疊紀(jì)使人想起俄羅斯烏拉爾山脈里的彼爾姆,而白堊紀(jì)(源自拉丁文白堊)是由一位比利時(shí)地質(zhì)學(xué)家命名的,他自己也有個(gè)漂亮的名字,叫做J.J.德奧馬利馬斯?德霍洛伊。   原先,地質(zhì)史分為4個(gè)時(shí)期:第一紀(jì)、第二紀(jì)、第三紀(jì)和第四紀(jì)。這個(gè)體系過于簡(jiǎn)單,因此壽命不太長(zhǎng)。地質(zhì)學(xué)家很快就用新的劃分方法來替代這種劃分方法。第一紀(jì)和第二紀(jì)已經(jīng)完全不用,第四紀(jì)有的人已經(jīng)不用,但有的人仍然在用。今天,只有第三紀(jì)還在廣泛使用,雖然已經(jīng)不代表第三紀(jì)任何東西。
