- Why was it believed that life began in the seas and not in land or air? * Land and air were inhospitable places for life during the Hadean Eon.

Land and air were inhospitable places for life during the Proterozoic Eon.arrow_forwardIt has been suggested that the current time should be made into a different period. In other words, it should not have been part of the Holocene period due to the extreme changes man has made to the earth. If you were a scientist tasked to give a name to the period of today what name would you give it and why?arrow_forwardEarth’s history is divided into unequal time intervals. The boundaries between the intervals mark significant geological (very early Earth) or evolutionary events on Earth’s history. Example: The boundary between the Precambrian eon and the Phanerozoic eon is marked by the rapid evolution and diversification of organisms with hard body parts. The time intervals are eons, which are subdivided into eras. The eras are subdivided into periods. The periods are further subdivided into epochs (not shown on figure).
