The Hadean Eon: The First Supereon

The Cambrian Period marks the beginning of the Paleozoic Era. This period gets its name from a place in Wales where the first examples of this type of ancient life was found. The period lasted for nearly 53 million years, from about 543 million years ago until 490 million years ago. The Cambrian Period marks an important point in the history of life on earth; it is the time when most of the major groups of animals first appear in the fossil record. This event is sometimes called the "Cambrian Explosion", because of the relatively short time over which this diversity of forms appears. It was once thought that the Cambrian rocks contained the

In Naturalistic Evolutionary view point, Earth was formed out of nothing 4.6 billion years ago, and went through several different periods of intense transition to arrive at what we now see. The first period of transition is known as the Precambrian in which “the most important events

The age of the Earth can be accurately determined. Through various methods of relative dating, and absolute radiometric dating, scientists can very precisely determine the age of the Earth. The key to the age of our planet lies not in one evidence, but in the cross-examination of multiple evidences. In this paper, we will explore those evidences and find that the secret of Earth’s age lives in the relationship between them.

The evolution of that formation created the world we live in today. The earth has been in existence for a little over four point five billion years to be exact. The earth shares a story that we are still exploring. From its colorful coral reefs in bright and vibrant

“The early Earth was probably partially or largely molten” (The Solar Nebula. N.d). Over time the earth cooled and the crust was formed. “Much continental crust, the most silica rich and least dense kind, has been produced by 2.5 billion years” (The Solar Nebula. N.d). Over a period of time and a series of volcanic eruptions water vapor was thrown into the atmosphere and eventually condensed to form the oceans. From a spinning cloud of dust the evolutionary process began and the Earth that is inhabited today came into existence according to the nebular hypothesis.

When we read about how or what makes the earth Billions of years? There was a Geologic time scale that was invented in 1800’s. Within this invention, this scale

The Paleolithic Period is the earliest time period man has been alive, and the longest of the Stone Age's. It dates from 2,000,000 B.C to 10,000 BC The people of the Paleolithic Period lived simple lives, which consisted primarily of survival. Man's life was simply to hunt, eat, and survive, while the woman's job was to gather and watch over the children.

The Earth began several billion years ago, but just six thousand years ago history began to be recorded by people, and only 500 hundred years ago, European conquerors set off into the world, forever changing the balance of the entire planet. 225 million years ago the supercontinent began to drift apart and formed Eurasia Africa Australia and the Americas. It opened up the Atlantic and Indian Ocean as well as narrowing the Pacific Ocean. However land masses and coastal ranges developed at separate times . Basic geography of North America was formed 10 million years ago. The modern geography of the earth however was created by the great ice age 2 million years ago.

APSC 151 MIDTERM FALL 2017 1) Compared to the age of the Universe of about 14 billion years, the currently accepted age of Earth is about ________ years as determined by using radioactivity for dating rocks and minerals. A) 4.6 thousand B) 4.6 billion C) 5.4 million D) 13.7 billion 2) The ________ division of the geologic time scale is an era of the Phanerozoic Eon. A) Paleocene B) Paleozoic C) Permian D) Proterozoic 3) The Earth's core was formed from ________. A) a massive nickel iron asteroid that was the nucleus upon which Earth condensed B) high density radioactive carbon C) the left over nickel and iron that would not fit into the earlier formed crust and mantle D) molten iron and nickel that

Either way though, whichever theory may be true, both have the same concept and this is when humans started making an impact the Earth. This we can tell by, by looking at the CO2 levels, or in short, when the atmosphere started changing.

The time of the Old Stone Age, which endured from approximately 2.6 million years ago to about 12 thousand years ago.

In this video we were able to learn about the such violent beginnings of earth and its first billion years, which is a time of continuous catastrophe. We were also made knowledgable how each catastrophe lead us to where we are today. Despite such violent beginnings, scientists have found new clues that life-giving water and oxygen appeared on our planet much earlier than previously thought. The video summarizes the creation of earth by comparing it to a 24 hour day. This timeline gives us the order of the creation and helps us learn more about earth.

The Cambrian era was over 500 million years ago, according to many scientists’ studies. It got it’s name “Cambrian” from the Roman word Cambria which acts as a name for

In the early millennia of the solar system, the Earth was in an inchoate state.

Scientists believe the solar system began about 5 billion years ago, perhaps when a nearby star exploded and caused a large cloud of dust and gas to collapse in on itself. The hot, central part of the cloud became the sun, while some smaller pieces formed around it and became the planets. Other fragments became asteroids and comets,
