We read the Geologic timescale from the bottom to the top because, that is the same way geologists and paleontologists had found the older fossils.

The older fossils lay at the bottom, and the more younger ones, near the top.

How does the starting height affect the total time the marble rolls?

The starting height of the marble affects its initial speed, which in turn influences the time it takes to reach the bottom. A marble starting from a higher height will have a greater initial speed and reach the bottom faster compared to a marble starting from a lower height.

How do you read a minimum thermometer?

Each side is read at the bottom of the marker that has been pushed upward since the last reading. Don't read the colored fluid where it is at that time. That would only give you the current temperature. The bottom of the maximum marker is at the highest point that it was pushed to at the warmest time since the last reset, and the base of the minimum marker is where the liquid reached at the coldest time. The markers need to be reset at the same time each day with a magnet. Drag the markers back so they are both sitting on top of the silver Mercury near the bottom of the tube. Horizontal thermometers are reset by turning them to vertical.


What is the geometric time scale?

No such thing. Some geometers consider time to be the fourth dimension. There is a "geologic time scale" which is the time scale at which you notice continents moving and mountain ridges growing and being eroded (very long time scale)
