油
Describe general features of the history of life on Earth, including generally accepted dates
and sequences of the geologic time scale and characteristics of major groups of organisms
present during these periods (STEM-BIO11/12-IIIC-G-8).
Specific Objectives:
1. Identify the date, eon, era, period, epoch and describe the major events base on
Geologic Time Scale.
2. Differentiate the types of fossils.
3. Appreciate the history of life on earth by making a personal timeline.
The geologic time scale, or geological time scale, (GTS) is a representation of time based on the rock record of Earth. It is a system of chronological dating that uses chronostratigraphy (the process of relating strata to time) and geochronology (scientific branch of geology that aims to determine the age of rocks). It is used primarily by Earth scientists (including geologists, paleontologists, geophysicists, geochemists, and paleoclimatologists) to describe the timing and relationships of events in geologic history. The time scale has been developed through the study of rock layers and the observation of their relationships and identifying features such as lithologies, paleomagnetic properties, and fossils. The definition of standardized international units of geologic time is the responsibility of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), a constituent body of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS), whose primary objective[1] is to precisely define global chronostratigraphic units of the International Chronostratigraphic Chart (ICC)[2] that are used to define divisions of geologic time. The chronostratigraphic divisions are in turn used to define geochronologic units.[2]
While some regional terms are still in use,[3] the table of geologic time presented in this article conforms to the nomenclature, ages, and color codes set forth by the ICS as this is the standard, reference global geologic time scale the International Geological Time Scale.[1][
- The first geologic time scale was proposed in 1913 by British geologist Arthur Holmes, estimating Earth's age at around 4 billion years old, much older than previously believed.
- Geologists have divided Earth's history into time intervals of varying lengths marked by significant geological or biological events, such as mass extinctions.
- The time scale includes eons like the Phanerozoic Eon which are hundreds of millions of years long and divided into eras like the Cenozoic, Mesozoic and Paleozoic marked by very significant events. Eras are further divided into periods which are also defined by boundary events.
The document provides a history of the Earth from its formation nearly 5 billion years ago through the development of early life. It describes how the Earth accreted from dust and rocks, was heavily bombarded by meteors, and how the moon formed from a giant impact. Oceans formed, and early life like cyanobacteria began producing oxygen that accumulated in the atmosphere. The development of the ozone layer allowed more complex eukaryotic life to emerge. Subsequent sections discuss the Cambrian explosion of life, the rise of fish and amphibians, the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras including the age of dinosaurs, and the Cenozoic era when mammals and eventually humans arose after the extinction of
The document summarizes Earth's history from the Precambrian era to the present-day Cenozoic era in four parts. It describes the Precambrian era as spanning 88% of Earth's history, including the early evolution of life. The Paleozoic era saw the first life with hard shells and fossils, as well as plant and animal diversification on land and in the seas. Dinosaurs and other reptiles dominated during the Mesozoic era. Finally, the Cenozoic era is characterized as the time of mammals including humans, as well as flowering plants.
The document summarizes the Geologic Time Scale, which divides Earth's history into eons, eras, periods, and epochs based on major geological events. The four eons are Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic, and Phanerozoic. Key events included the emergence of life, oxygenation of the atmosphere, formation of the supercontinent Pangaea, the five major extinction events, and the rise of mammals. The current epoch is the Holocene, within the Quaternary period of the Cenozoic era.
The document summarizes the Geologic Time Scale, which divides Earth's history into eons, eras, periods, and epochs based on major geological events. It describes the four eons - Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic, and Phanerozoic - and provides details about key periods within the Proterozoic and Phanerozoic eons, including major developments in life forms. It also outlines the basic structure and units of the Geologic Time Scale.
This document provides an overview of geologic history from the Precambrian era to present day. It describes the major eras, periods, events, climate changes, organisms, and theories of evolution that are recorded in the layers of rock and fossil records. The document is organized chronologically, with each era and period summarized in terms of dominant life forms, environmental conditions, and significant developments or extinctions. Major theories like plate tectonics and mass extinction events are also outlined.
The document summarizes Earth's history from the Precambrian era to the present Cenozoic era. It describes how early Earth's atmosphere evolved and how the first life forms such as stromatolites emerged in the Precambrian. During the Paleozoic era, life exploded with the Cambrian explosion and continued to diversify, including early plants and amphibians. The Mesozoic era was dominated by reptiles such as dinosaurs. Finally, the Cenozoic era saw the rise of mammals as the dominant land animals following the extinction of the dinosaurs.
The document summarizes key events in Earth's history from the Precambrian era to the present Cenozoic era. It describes how early Earth's atmosphere evolved, the first appearance of life in the form of stromatolites, the consolidation of continents into Pangaea, the rise of plants and amphibians on land during the Paleozoic, the dominance of dinosaurs and gymnosperms in the Mesozoic, and the replacement of reptiles by mammals as the dominant land animals in the Cenozoic following the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event.
The document outlines the geologic time scale which divides Earth's history into standardized units based on fossil evidence. The longest divisions are eons, which are subdivided into eras, then periods and epochs. Key events outlined include the earliest life forms in the Precambrian, the Cambrian explosion of diversity, dominance of dinosaurs in the Mesozoic, and ice ages in the Quaternary. Foundational scientists such as Steno, Hutton, and Smith established principles of stratigraphy, uniformitarianism, and using fossils to date rock layers.
The document provides information about the history of life on Earth. It discusses how the Earth formed 4.6 billion years ago and life emerged around 3.5 billion years ago. It then describes the geologic time scale which divides Earth's history into eons, eras, periods, and epochs based on fossil and rock evidence. Examples are given of different types of fossils like molds, casts, and trace fossils. Methods of relative and absolute dating using principles like superposition and radiometric dating are also summarized to help establish the age of fossils within the geologic timescale.
The document summarizes key aspects of geologic timescales including:
1) Rock layers at places like the Grand Canyon provide evidence of nearly 2 billion years of Earth's history. Fossils preserved in sedimentary rocks also provide information about geologic eras.
2) Geologists have divided Earth's history into a geologic timescale including eons, eras, periods, and epochs to better study the planet's natural history.
3) Mass extinction events have occurred where a large percentage of species suddenly die off, such as the extinction that ended the Paleozoic era killing nearly 90% of marine species. Climate changes are believed to be a cause of some extinctions.

The document provides an overview of the geological time scale and describes several key periods in Earth's history. It discusses:
1. The Hadean Eon, when conditions were extremely harsh and the early atmosphere was hostile to life. Despite this, oceans first formed and provided building blocks for life.
2. The Archean Eon, when the first single-celled life forms evolved and primitive ecosystems were established.
3. Significant events in subsequent periods including the evolution of oxygen-producing photosynthesis, multicellular life, plants and animals, dinosaurs, mammals, and modern humans.
4. Climate changes, mass extinctions like the Permian-Triassic event, shifts in dominant
The Paleozoic Era lasted from 543 to 248 million years ago. It was divided into seven periods: Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Mississippian, Pennsylvanian, and Permian. Major events included the diversification of multi-celled animal life in the Cambrian and a mass extinction at the end of the Paleozoic that wiped out 90% of marine species. Life colonized land during this era, with plants, fungi and insects moving ashore.

This document provides information about Earth's prehistory and geologic timeline. It discusses how Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old, and life has changed the planet's chemistry over the past 3/4 of geologic time. Five major extinctions have occurred, including the K-Pg extinction that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Mass extinctions are caused by long-term stresses combined with short term catastrophic events. Recovery of biodiversity after extinctions can take 5-10 million years as weedy species repopulate the planet. The eras of geologic time - Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic - are summarized along with significant developments in life during each period

7. FOUR ERAS IN GEOLOGICAL
TIME SCALE
1. Precambrian
2. Paleozoic
Era
3. Mesozoic
8. PRECAMBR
IAN
which is 542 million years ago where single-celled
organisms came into existence.
The end of this span is the rise of few more
complex animals in the oceans such as Jellyfish.
There was still no life on land, and the atmosphere
was just beginning to accumulate the oxygen
requirement for higher-order animals to survive.
9. PALEOZOIC
ERA
an era that began with the Cambrian Explosion a relatively rapid
period of speciation kicked off a long period of life flourishing on
Earth.
There are a huge number and kinds of living organisms from the
ocean that moved towards the land.
It is believed that plants were the first to migrate towards land,
followed by invertebrates and many other species also appeared
and thrived on land.
The end of this Era comes with the largest mass extinction in the
history of life on Earth, wiping out 75percent of marine life and
nearly 70 percent of life on land.
10. MESOZOIC
ERA
age of dinosaurs The climate during this
Era was very humid
and tropical, which many lush, green
plants
sprouted all over the Earth.
Herbivores thrive and small mammals
came
into existence, birds developed evolved from
the dinosaurs.
11. CENOZOIC
ERA
which began 65 billion years ago to the present
this final era on the GTS wherein smaller mammals
survived and become dominant.
The climate of this Era is cooler and drier compared to
the Mesozoic Era.
This is an Ice Age which covered most temperate
regions of the Earth with glaciers.
All species of life-including humans evolved into their
present-day form throughout this era.
12. WHAT IS
FOSSILS?
evidence of organisms that lived in the
past.
They may be actual remains like burrows,
nests, and dinosaurs footprints or even the
ripples created in our prehistoric shore.
13. SIX WAYS OF
FOSSILIZATION
1.Unaltered preservation-wherein small organisms or past trapped in
amber, hardened plant sap is being
observed.
2.Per mineralization/ Petrification-the organic contents of bone and wood
are replaced by silica, calcite, or pyrite, forming a rock-like
fossil.
3.Replacement-hard parts are dissolved and replaced by other minerals,
like calcite, silica, pyrite, or iron.
4.Carbonization/ or Coalification-the other elements are ionized and only
the carbon remained.
5.Recrystallization-the hard parts are converted into more stable minerals
or small crystals turned into larger
crystals.
6.Authigenicpreservation molds and casts are formed after most of the
organisms have been destroyed or
dissolved.
15. HOW DO WE MEASURE
THE AGE OF FOSSILS?
1.Relative Dating 2.Absolute
Dating
16. RELATIVE
DATING
can also be useful.
This means that the fossil is compared to
something for which an age is already
known.
Index fossils-use several types of fossils
to aid in relative dating.
Fossils that are identified to be found
only within a very specific age span.
Examining the layers of rock or strata
