Broadly, the original ' measures in boxes ' type design ( as proposed by Kaplan & Norton ) constitutes the 1st Generation Balanced Scorecard design ; Balanced Scorecard designs that include a ' strategy map ' or ' strategic linkage model ' ( e. g. the Performance Prism, later Kaplan & Norton designs, the Performance Driver model of Olve & Wetter ) constitute the 2nd Generation of Balanced Scorecard design ; and designs that augment the strategy map / strategic linkage model with a separate document describing the long-term outcomes sought from the strategy ( the " Destination Statement " idea ) comprise the 3rd Generation Balanced Scorecard design.

Although the term aeon may be used in reference to a period of a billion years ( especially in geology, cosmology or astronomy ), its more common usage is for any long, indefinite, period.

In geology and mineralogy, the term " carbonate " can refer both to carbonate minerals and carbonate rock ( which is made of chiefly carbonate minerals ), and both are dominated by the carbonate ion, CO.

* Shear ( geology ), the response of a rock to deformation usually by compressive stress and forms particular textures

* Tension ( geology ), occurs when a rock is pulled apart in two opposite directions

This branch of structural geology deals mainly with the orientation, deformation and relationships of stratigraphy ( bedding ), which may have been faulted, folded or given a foliation by some tectonic event.

He classified geologic time into primitive ( or primary ), secondary, and tertiary periods based on observations of geology in northern Italy.
