What caused Earth's crust to form?

Minerals in the Earth’s mantle released water trapped in them through lava explosions and the minerals that still contained water formed Earth’s crust.

Minerals in the Earth's mantle were heated by the high temperatures at the time and formed a dry, outer crust.

The mantle of the Earth released gasses trapped in it’s minerals which cooled into solid material and formed a dry crust.

The coloration in minerals in the Earth’s mantle was released through lava explosions onto the top of the Earth, making it brown.

How are periods, eras, and eons related?

Periods are the building blocks of all time. Two or more periods form an era. Two or more eras form a eon.

Eras are the building blocks of all time. Two or more eras form an eon. Two or more eons form a period.

Eons are the building blocks of all time. Two or more eons form a era. Two or more eras form an period.

What is the difference between the Precambrian and Cambrian time periods?

Multicellular life formed at the start of the Cambrian time period.

Multicellular life formed at the start of the Precambrian time period.

There is no difference between the time periods.

There is no Cambrian or Precambrian time period.

What was the effect of Earth’s crust forming?

Plants were able to photosynthesize by getting minerals from the soil

Animals could build habitats to live in

What was the effect of "The Great Dying"?

Almost all organisms perished, which started the evolution of dinosaurs.

All organisms could now walk on land and swim in water.

Water was now more affordable for organisms in any area.

What most limits the study of the previous eons?

The rock cycle destroys evidence of the previous eons limiting our study of previous eons.

Due to mass extinctions, some species that we could've studied had gone extinct.

No evidence of previous eons are written down.

What is precambrian time and during which eons did it occur?

Precambrian time is the earliest parts of Earth's history which preceded the cambrian times. This time period occurred in the first three eons, the Hadean, Archean, and Proterozoic. Precambrian time represents about 80% of Earth’s geologic record.

Precambrian time is the latest parts of Earth's history which preceded the cambrian times. This time period occurred in the first three eons, the Phanerozoic, Archean, and Proterozoic. Precambrian time represents about 80% of Earth’s geologic record.

Precambrian time is the latest parts of Earth's history which preceded the cambrian times. This time period occurred in the first three eons, the Phanerozoic, Meaterozoic, Winsterozoic. Precambrian time represents about 80% of Earth’s geologic record.

What was the effect of snowball earth?

It started the evolution of the first complex animals. The first complex organisms, weird tube- and frond-shaped things called the Ediacarans, appeared soon after.

It allowed snow angels to be made by complex organisms.

Hot Chocolate was created because of snowball Earth because it was called and organisms wanted a treat.

What caused Snowball Earth?

Snowball Earth was caused by the rapid weathering of Earth’s continents. This sucked carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere leading to major drops of temperature.

An invasion of snowmen from an outside planet covered the Earth in Snow that took millions of years to melt.

No Organisms Heaters were working, so everything was cold.

Earth’s Atmosphere failed to keep the planet warm, causing cold space temperatures to leak into Earth’s surface.

In this eon multicellular life was created. During this eon the Earth was considered the Snowball Earth and the Oxygen Catastrophe occurred causing loss of oxygen on our Earth. This eon is also the 3rd eon in Earth’s history. Which eon is this?

The moon formed during this eon, this eon occured before life and before the crust had solidified. Lava and magma was everywhere, and lots of comets bombarded the earth, giving the earth the large amounts of water you see today. Which eon is this?
