समय मापक्रम (Time scale Meaning in Hindi)
(Definition in Hindi) A timescale is related to the dominant periodicity of the phenomena of interest to an investigator. For instance, if someone is interested in variations on a seasonal timescale, the analysis will be mainly devoted on the differences between the various seasons. Timescales can also be daily, monthly, annual, decadal, centennial, millennial, etc. The timescale of variation of a process represents the time over which significant variations of the processes can be expected to be observed. It takes millions of years for plate tectonics to induce movements of the continents that have a clear impact on the climate. This process is thus said to be important for climate on the timescale of millions of years. The timescale can represent an order of magnitude or be defined very precisely, for example, on the basis of spectral analysis or on an exponential decay.
