Which events have the shortest duration?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microscale events have the shortest duration as they occur on a very small scale such as the movement of individual particles or molecules and may last for fractions of seconds. Mesoscale events occur over larger distances and durations (hours to days) than microscale events but shorter than synoptic and global-scale events. Synoptic-scale events occur over regions ranging from a few hundred kilometers to a few thousand kilometers and can last for several days whereas global-scale events occur on a planetary scale and can last for years.
