Geologists subdivide eras into periods.

Explanation:

The word "into" denotes that an object undergoes a change of state.

Geologists take eras, which are large portions of time, and split them up. The smaller portions are called periods.

So, eras are subdivided into periods.

The word "into" shows that eras become periods once geologists subdivide them.
