摘要：

This paper analyses the conceptions about the geological time of students in the 4th year of ESO and 1st and 2nd years of university. A timeline of the Earth's history and a questionnaire composed of closed-ended questions about the frequency and duration of processes related to landscape modelling were used as research instruments. The results indicated that the students had serious difficulties when working with scales and absolute ages, and contradictions were observed between the values assigned on the timelines and the absolute values given to each event. The most problematic events to be placed on the timelines were those that were more recent and those that involved shorter time spans. In the case of landform processes, internal processes involving longer time spans were the most problematic. This opens up some possibilities to facilitate learning about these aspects.
