Question

 we will be compressing the age of the Earth to one day to get an idea about the relative duration of each period in Earth’s history and when major events took place.

Age of the Earth: 4.6 Billion years

  1. Fit the Eons (Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic, Phanerozoic) and Eras of the Phanerozoic (Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic) into the 24hr clock. Assume: 00:00:00 to be Earth’s “birthday” and 24:00:00 to be today. Use colored pencils to color in different time periods in the clock and label everything clearly. Show all the necessary calculations in the blank page of this handout. Fill the column indicating the equivalent time (00:00:00 hrs) in a 24 hr time period.
  2.  
B) Mark the following major events as arrows along the circumference of the clock and mention the equivalent time in a 24hr period (hb:mm:ss) next to each event (#1 given as an example): 1) Coal Swamps (359.2 Million yrs) _22:07:37_ 2) Formation of Moon (4527 Million yrs) 3) Great Oxygenation Event (2400 Million wys) 4) Cambrian Explosion (542 Million yE) 5) Ordovician-Silurian Extinction event (450-440 Million yrs) 6) Late Devonian Extinction Event (380-375 Million yrs) 7) Permian-Triassic Extinction Event (252 Million yrs) 8) Dinosaurs arrive (230 Million yrs) 9) Triassic-Jurassic Extinction Event (201 Million yrs) 10) Cretaceous-Paleogene Extinction Event (66 Million yrs) 11) First Hominids (2 million s). For events that happened over a period of time (#5 and #6), indicate with a curve the duration of the event along the clock circumference. Write both the equivalent start and end time in a 24hr period. * 24 hr clock (00:00:00 hrs) From To Eon Era Period Ероch (million years ago) Cenozoic Quaternary Holocene 0.0117 Pleistocene 2.588 0.0117 Tertiary Pliocene 5.3 2.588 Miocene 23 5.3 Oligocene 33.9 23 Eоcene 56 33.9 Raleccene 65.5 56 Phanerozoic Mesozoic Cretaceous 145.5 65.5 Jurassic 199.6 145.5 Triassic 251 199.6 Paleozois Permian 299 251 Carboniferous 359.2 299 Devonian 416 359.2 Silurian 443.7 416 Ordovician 488.3 443.7 Cambrian 542 488.3 Proterozoic 2500 542 Archean 4000 2500 Hadean 4600 4000
