Earths History: Geological Time, Rocks, Fossils Warm Up – Name the 5 different types of fossils

Geological Time Scale Timeline that organizes the events in Earths history. Earth is about 4.7 billion years old. More complex organism such as land plants and fish evolved only with in the last 500 million years.

Humans Humans evolved only about 110, 000 years ago If humans were squeezed into a single day, humans would not evolve until he last few seconds.

Calendar of Earth The geological time scale is like a calendar extending from earths formation to the present. The scale is divided into eons, eras, periods, and epochs.

Eon The largest group: divided by the Cambrian boundary (about 550 million years ago) when the variety of life forms explodes: billions of years long

Era Mass extinctions mark the boundaries between the eras hundreds of millions of years long

Period Blocks of time when a unique rock series was laid down tens of millions of years long

Epoch Divisions of the most recent periods Several millions years long

Determining the Age of Rocks Scientists use rocks and fossils to try to date events, or determine when in history events took place on earth. Scientists use 3 techniques of dating: Absolute age Radioactive dating Relative age

Absolute Age Tells the actual age of rock or fossil or how long ago an event occurred

Radioactive Dating Is means of measuring the age of a material by comparing the amount of radioactive form of an element in a rock or fossil with the amount of its decay product.

Relative Age When absolute age is not possible scientists use relative age. Relative age describes the age of an object or event in comparison to another object or event. It determines which events occurred earlier or later then others without giving a definite date.

Law of Superposition States that in undisturbed sedimentary rock layers, older layers of rock lie beneath younger rock layers Older sediments must be laid down first before the younger ones pile on top.

Unconformity Plate movements can disturb rock layers by folding or turning them. Sometimes a layer can be missing one area of rock bed. The missing layer is called an unconformity. Makes it more difficult to understand how earth changed at a specific time.

Fossils Provides Clues to Earths Past Fossils can be used to determine the geological history, or age, of the rock that contains them Younger fossils may be found where the original boundary was an ocean/continent Older fossils are found in where plates collided, formed mountains, and now eroding.

Index Fossil fossil must be widely distributed represent a type of organism that existed only briefly. useful because they tell the relative ages of the rock layers in which they occur.

Extinction Process which species disappear Occur naturally over time Most occur following a sudden, drastic change in the environment. Species cannot adapt quickly enough to survive

Through Out History Throughout history numerous species of organism have gone extinct Some scientists estimate that 99.9% of all species have ever lived on earth is extinct Average species lives for 2 to 10 million years

Extinction Increase in temp Increase or decrease in rainfall Volcanic eruption Flooding or drought Shifting land or sea A change in food supply A new predator or disease

Mass Extinctions Occurs when large numbers of species die out in a short amount of time. Mass extinctions have occurred many times in Earths history Each event has wiped out more then 50% of species Have evidence in rock layers. Abundant fossils suddenly disappear.
