    The Precambrian era spans from 4.6 billion years ago to approximately 600 million years ago. It represents the earliest time period in Earth's geological history. During this time, most life was single-celled and the atmosphere lacked oxygen. Rocks from this era provide clues about early climate and environmental conditions, such as evidence that water was present as early as 3.9-4 billion years ago. Mass extinctions during the Precambrian were likely caused by a combination of climate and geological events. Studying Precambrian rocks helps determine the age of the Earth and how physical changes to the planet have impacted evolution over time.

    The Precambrian era

    By Miguel Manrriguez
    When did this timeline start
    ● This time started from
    ●

    4,6000 billion years

    600 million years


    ago

    The precambrian era is the earliest


    time period on the geological scale

    ● The subdivision that you can find during this time are the
    precambrian w ,precambrian X precambrian y precambrian z
    What kind of thing can you find during this time
    ● Most of the living things were single celled
    ● You can find fossils from plants and animals from when the sediments were
    formed
    ● Linchen
    ●
    The conditions on earth
    ● There were several rock types yeld they know this because of the
    sedimentary that was formed by lithification which provide clues to the
    climate
    ● The earth's atmosphere was virally devoid of oxygen
    ● I don't think there really was a hydrosphere during this time but i found
    something that said this The oldest rocks known are 3.9 billion to 4.0 billion
    years old, and these rocks, though altered by post-depositional processes,
    show signs of having been deposited in an environment containing water.
    There is no direct evidence for water for the period between 4.6 billion and
    3.9–4.0 billion years ago. Thus, ideas concerning the early history of the
    hydrosphere are closely linked to theories about the origin of Earth.
    What caused the mass extinction/essential questions
    They stuff that caused the mass extinction for the precambrian era was a mix of
    climate and geological events .

    1.how can we determine how old the earth is by rocks and rocks from earth's
    crust and from rock from the moon

    2. How has earth physicals feater impacted the evolution of organisms it has
    impacted us greatly mostly in a good way because we are here and we are like
    the newest organism to the earth
