Warm up 4/14
• What span of time does the geologic time scale cover?
• Rank eons, eras, epochs, and periods in order from LARGEST to smallest
• What is the “era of ancient life” called?• A footprint of a dinosaur would be what type
of fossil?
![Page 3: Geologic History of the Earth Ch 13 April 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7b5503460f94b7d335/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Early Earth- Precambrian
• The Precambrian Era covers an immense amount of geologic time– Started at the beginnings of Earth 4.6 billion years
ago and lasted over 4 billion years– The fossil record extends back only 3.5 billion years
• Stromatolites are distinctively layered mounds or columns of calcium carbonate. They are not the remains of actual organisms but are the material deposited by algae.

Precambrian
Everything else
![Page 5: Geologic History of the Earth Ch 13 April 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7b5503460f94b7d335/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Early Earth- Precambrian
• Originally, the Earth’s atmosphere had no free oxygen
• The atmosphere was made of gases similar to those released in volcanic eruptions- water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and other gases to a small extent
• WHY WOULD THIS BE A PROBLEM?
Because with no free oxygen humans can’t live
![Page 6: Geologic History of the Earth Ch 13 April 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7b5503460f94b7d335/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Early Earth- Precambrian
• What releases O2?• GREEN PLANTS• The major source of the free oxygen in our
atmosphere is green plants through photosynthesis
![Page 7: Geologic History of the Earth Ch 13 April 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7b5503460f94b7d335/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The recent 540 million years
• After the Precambrian the Phanerozoic era is divided into three eras that cover about 540 million years– Paleozoic– Mesozoic– Cenozoic
![Page 8: Geologic History of the Earth Ch 13 April 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7b5503460f94b7d335/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Paleozoic• Early Paleozoic
– During the Cambrian, Ordovician, and Silurian periods the continents of South America, Africa, Australia, Antarctica, and part of Asia formed the super-continent of Gondwana
![Page 9: Geologic History of the Earth Ch 13 April 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7b5503460f94b7d335/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Paleozoic
• Life in the early Paleozoic was restricted to the seas
![Page 10: Geologic History of the Earth Ch 13 April 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7b5503460f94b7d335/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Paleozoic
• Late Paleozoic• By the end of the
Paleozoic, all of the continents were fused together to form Panagaea
![Page 11: Geologic History of the Earth Ch 13 April 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7b5503460f94b7d335/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Paleozoic
• Late Paleozoic Life–About 400 million years ago plants had
adapted to survive on the water’s edge–Plants then began to move inland
• This made it possible for animals to move onto land
• WHY?
![Page 12: Geologic History of the Earth Ch 13 April 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7b5503460f94b7d335/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Paleozoic
• Amphibians (animals that spend part of their time in the water and part on land) diversified
• Reptiles became the first true terrestrial animals
• Large tropical swamps in the Pennsylvanian period in North America eventually formed the vast coal deposits that support the US economy
![Page 13: Geologic History of the Earth Ch 13 April 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7b5503460f94b7d335/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Paleozoic
• The great extinction at the end of the Paleozoic was the caused by dramatic climate changes
• The Paleozoic extinction was the largest of at least five mass extinctions to occur over the past 500 million years
![Page 15: Geologic History of the Earth Ch 13 April 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7b5503460f94b7d335/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Mesozoic- Age of Reptiles
• Pangaea began to break up• Dinosaurs were the land-dwelling reptiles that
thrived during the Mesozoic• See a video of dinosaurs here!• Gymnosperms are plants with seeds that do
not depend on free-standing water– These became the dominant plants of the
Mesozoic
![Page 16: Geologic History of the Earth Ch 13 April 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7b5503460f94b7d335/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mesozoic- Age of Reptiles
• Reptiles have eggs with hard shells• This allows the eggs to be laid on land so that
organisms no longer needed water to reproduce and develop
• Reptiles dominated the Mesozoic• At the end of the Mesozoic many reptile
groups and plants died– A meteorite collision caused large amounts of dust
to fill the atmosphere and block sunlight
![Page 17: Geologic History of the Earth Ch 13 April 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7b5503460f94b7d335/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cenozoic- Age of Mammals
• The Earth is currently in the Cenozoic era• The Cenozoic is also known as the Age of
Mammals• See video here!• The Cenozoic is divided into two periods
– Tertiary (almost all of the Cenozoic)– Quaternary (relatively short period in which we
live)
![Page 18: Geologic History of the Earth Ch 13 April 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7b5503460f94b7d335/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Cenozoic- Age of Mammals
• During the Cenozoic, Western North America was subject to a lot of plate interactions that caused earthquakes, mountain building, and volcanism
![Page 19: Geologic History of the Earth Ch 13 April 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7b5503460f94b7d335/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cenozoic- Age of Mammals
• Dominant Life Forms• Mammals- animals that bear live young and
have a steady body temperature• Angiosperms- flowering plants with covered
seeds- seeds could now travel and plants could spread
• DINOSAURS WERE NO LONGER LIVING
![Page 20: Geologic History of the Earth Ch 13 April 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7b5503460f94b7d335/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Filling out your Geologic Time Scales• Using your notes and your text book (Ch. 13, page 353
and 365) fill in any missing eon, era, period, and epoch information
• Fill in the Development of Plants and Animals column of the time scale– You need to have a major event for each block of the paper.– HINT: start with the Cenozoic and move backward in time,
it’ll be slightly easier• Color each Era and period to distinguish them from
the others.• When you finish, begin working on your study guide
ALONE, quietly.
