Question
Based on the table 5 and 6 complete the table 10

Transcribed Image Text:enumerates significant geological and biological events which are associated with each time unit.
Take note that in this table, the eons, periods, and epochs are numbered based on their
superscripts in Table 5 (i.e., the Hadean eon is listed first because its superseript in the
preceding table is 1, while Holocene is 20th on the list because its superscript is 20).
reptiles increase; first appearance of cotylosaurs (earliest truly terrestrial
vertebrates), pelycosaurs (mammal-like reptiles), and conifers (pine
trees); disappearance of trilobites and other invertebrates; mass
extinction event between the Permian and Triassic periods
Beginning of the Age of Reptiles; therapsids (reptilian ancestors of
mammals) and thecodonts (reptilian ancestors of birds) appear; first
appearance of dinosaurs and mammals; abundant forests of
gymnosperms (plants with naked seeds like conifers and cycads); mass
extinction event between the Triassic and Jurassic periods
Birds and angiosperms (flowering plants with seeds enclosed in fruits)
first appear; abundant cycads and ferns; giant reptiles dominate on land
and in water; insects increase in numbers and variety; abundant
ammonites (a group of marine mollusks related to the present-day
Nautilus species)
Present-day continents form; spread of insects and primitive mammals;
birds increase in numbers; gymnosperms decrease in numbers, while
angiosperms increase in numbers and variety; extinction of ammonites;
widespread dinosaurs until their extinction at the end of the period (end of
the Age of Reptiles); mass extinction event between the Cretaceous and
Tertiary periods
Beginning of the Age of Mammals; mammals, birds, and pollinating
insects increase in variety; first primates appear
Mammals and angiosperms continue to increase in variety; first whales

Earth forms (no rock record on Earth)
Life starts with the appearance of first prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea)
Oa produced by photosynthetic organisms accumulates in the atmosphere;
first eukaryotes and first multicellular organisms appear; appearance of
Ediacaran biota: soft-bodied, aerobic metazoans (animal-like
organisms, made up of more than one type of cell)
Cambrian explosion: appearance of many new groups of animals (like .
sponges, worms, jellyfish, and trilobites - marine arthropods with three
body lobes) in the ocean; appearance of abundant marine algae and of the
ancestors of all present-day animals
Marine life-forms (like algae and invertebrates) increase; appearance of
first vertebrates (jawless fish) and first terrestrial plants; mass
extinction event between the Ordovician and Silurian periods
First appearance of vascular plants (plants with xylem and phloem),
terrestrial invertebrates, and fish with jaws
Age of Fishes: first appearance and spread of bony fish and sharks;
corals, crinoids ( a type of echinoderm), amphibians, and seed plants first
appear; arthropods increase in variety; mass extinction event between
the Devonian and Carboniferous periods
Abundant sharks and echinoderms; spread of insects and amphibians;
appearance of first winged insects
