Precambrian Era
Basic Info...
The Precambrian Era was the earliest time Period. It was sub-divided into three Eons- The Hadean, Archean, and Proterozoic. It is one of the most important because during this time that the Earth was formed and life first appeared. It was much different than what it is like today. From organisms to plants to climate and geography, the Earth today is much more different than .5 to 4.5 billion years ago.
In a Circle
All of the time periods are put in a circle. It gives you information on how far back organisms and humans date back, how long the eons/eras were, at what time they began and ended.
Digging Deep
In this photo you mainly see the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras. To the left of the names are the fossils of the time periods. We will not be traveling to these Eras as they are rather modern.
Earth in 12 Hours
In this picture All of earths Geologic History is condensed in a mere 12 hours. According to this, we have been on earth about 2 seconds. The Precambrian Era was 87% of all time. On this scale it ended at about 10:44.
Major Events
The most important event of the Precambrian is probably a tie between the Formation of earth, the creation of the Oceans, and the beginning of life, because they all took place in a single Era. Earth was formed when Gravity pushed together ice, space dust, and rock. At the same time the Solar system was formed. The oceans took forever to create, Literally a million years. It poured the whole time because of the water vapor in the atmosphere. There are many theories as to how life actually began, the most famous being that of a lightning strike, where Amino acids and sugars along with other stuff in the atmosphere like water vapor combined. Over time, it became more than simple bacteria as time progressed. There are more events found below, under the pictures, specifically under the Eon in which they happened.
Hadean
The Hadean Eon, earliest of them all, began around 4.5 billion years ago. During this time the Earth formed. It was just a big ball of Molten lava. There were volcanoes everywhere. That is how it got its name. It was named after Hades, the Greek god of the Underworld. What it looked like is what many people think Hell would. Since everything was still molten, there are no fossils to give much information.
Archean
One of the biggest importance's of the Archean Eon is that this marked the beginning of photosynthesis. This meant that Oxygen would become abundant, where CO2 was the main gas. Photosynthesizing bacteria made this possible. Also Bacteria moved onto the land, straying from the Oceans, and the first cells with a nucleus became alive. During this time is when fossils first go back.
Proterozoic
It wasn't until the Proterozoic Eon, that the Earth finally became oxygen rich. Multicellular life began to appear like soft and hard shelled animals. It began to diversify slightly. The ozone layer formed. All these aided in the world we know today.
Organisms?
During the Precambrian Era, life was just beginning. There were only single celled organisms most of the time, usually with no nucleus but, after awhile, Eukaryotes were born. They eventually went multi cellular
How is it different from Today?
The ancient Earth isn't at all like it is today. It is very advanced. Everything is evolved. We have more oxygen, different varieties of organisms. We have cycles that help regulate the world. Human intelligence, and soon artificial too.
How do we do it?
We time travel using the bubble Depicted down below. It will keep you safe while in it, it's designed to do so after all. It is provided with all the supplies needed for the one week spent visit the different eons int the Precambrian Era. There are no real dangers, except for starvation, oxygen deprivation, and heat. We have oxygen suits, for the times when it was scarce. and anti heat for when the Earth was thousands of degrees hot. As for starvation we will be taking enough food to last weeks(safety precautions). There is nothing you need to worry about.
