What geological era are we in? The Geologic Time Scale The geologic time scale breaks down the entire history of the planet into various units of time based on geologic activity, climate, and fossils of life forms found in different layers. The largest unit of time is the era. This is di...
What geological era are we in? What was the climate in the Permian period? What were the major geologic events of the Mesozoic era? What were the oxygen levels in the Cretaceous Period? How did the Mesozoic era end? What are the different eras in the geologic time scale?
Animals are disappearing at hundreds of times the normal rate, primarily because of shrinking habitats. Their biggest threat: humans.
The Cretaceous Period: The Cretaceous Period lasted from 145.5 million years ago until around 65.5 million years ago. During this 80-million-year period, the third and final of me Mesozoic Era, the world looked quite different than the planet we recognize today. ...
That's the good news. The bad news is we don't know how long it will last, whether it will get hotter or colder, and what impact climate change will have on our lives. Although most of the warming-cooling cycles throughout geologic history (that goes back hundreds of millions of ...
The Silurian period is the third of six major periods that make up the Paleozoic era, a geologic division of time that extends from about 542 million years ago to 251 million years ago. The Silurian period itself began at the end of the Ordovician period, approximately 444 million years ago...
speed of rotation) is continuously getting longer. This minimal increase of the day length is due mainly to the oceanic tidal friction. When the estimated rate of the slowdown was projected back to past geologic eons, it showed that the length of a day was several hours shorter than today....

we do have geologic and fossil records to help us understand the past with different layers of rock forming and new organisms preserved in that rock. However, we cannot easily put an exact year on these fossils. Instead, we break the past into geologic units of time separated by what organi...
