Geologic Time Scale. How’s it divided?  Instead of being divided into months or years, the geologic time scale is divided into eras.  Eras are divided.

Examining layers of sedimentary rock, scientists have put together a chronology of Earth’s history. Divided into 4 Eras: 1.Precambrian (3.5 bya mya)

Geologic Time Scientists have developed a model of the history of life on Earth called the geologic time scale. Paleontologists divide the geologic time.

See what you know ALREADY!! 1. How old are you? 2. How old is the Earth? 3. When did the dinosaurs become extinct? 4. When did the greatest extinction occur on Earth? 5. Did dinosaurs exist at the same time as humans?

What do you know ALREADY??? 6. In what era do we live? 7. Put these letter on the time line in the best order T = Today B = Beginning of time D = Dinosaurs Became Extinct R = The Oldest Known Rocks H = First Humans

Now let’s figure out how we did??? Draw a line under what we just did…the next pages are NOTES!

What is the geologic time scale? Time-line of Earth’s history Time-line of Earth’s history Breaks down Earth’s history into units of time Breaks down Earth’s history into units of time

Eras are the largest unit of time. Ex: Precambrian Paleozoic Paleozoic Mesozoic Mesozoic Cenozoic Cenozoic Eras are divided into smaller parts called periods. Periods are then divided into even smaller parts called epochs.

Precambrian Earliest span of time in Earth’s history. Earliest span of time in Earth’s history. No life for a long time and then very simple life appears. No life for a long time and then very simple life appears. Early life influenced by volcanoes and mountain building Early life influenced by volcanoes and mountain building
