10 lut 2023 · The document provides information about the geologic time scale. It begins by defining the geologic time scale as a timeline that chronologically relates geological eras, periods and epochs based on stratigraphy and life forms throughout Earth's history.
15 lut 2013 · The geologic time scale is based on analyzing the fossil record and dating the ages of rocks and sediments to correlate transitions in life forms with absolute time. The geological timescale divides Earth's history into eons, eras, periods, and epochs based on fossil and rock evidence.
28 Mesozoic Era This era ended with a mass extinction event about 65 million years ago. Many groups of animals, including the dinosaurs disappeared suddenly at this time. Many scientists believe that this event was caused by a comet or asteroid colliding with the Earth.
20 cze 2010 · The document summarizes the geologic time scale which divides Earth's history into sections called eons, eras, periods, and epochs based on major changes. It describes several important periods including the Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras.
11 cze 2012 · Cenozoic Era • Growth of these mountains may have helped to cool down the climate • Ice Ages occurred late in the Cenozoic Era (Quaternary Period). • As the climate changed, the animals had to adapt to the rise and fall of the oceans caused by melting glaciers.
13 wrz 2024 · The geologic time scale is the “calendar” for events in Earth history. It subdivides all time into named units of abstract time called—in descending order of duration— eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages.
28 lut 2020 · Geologic time spans are divided into units and subunits, the largest of which are eons. Eons are divided into eras, which are further divided into periods, epochs, and ages. Geologic dating is extremely imprecise.
