Lecture 13 Overview of Earth’s History
Hadean (4.5 to 3.9 b.y.)1. Initial Formation of the Earth
2. Impact of Mars-sized planet- Formation of Moon

3. Era of Asteriodal Bombardment (4.1 to 4.5 b.y.)- The evidence?

Archean (3.9 to 2.5 b.y)1. Formation of First Stable Crust
2. The Archean Atmosphere
3. The Origins of Life- Oldest Fossil - 3.5 b.y.
What was the Archean world like?

Stromatolite
Primitive UnicellularOrganisms

Proterozoic (0.54 to 2.5 b.y.) 1. Compare Archean and Proterozoic Sedimentary Rocks
- The Early Proterozoic is the first period of large-scale stability (2.5 b.y)
![Page 6: Lecture 13Overview of Earth’s History Hadean (4.5 to 3.9 b.y.) 1. Initial Formation of the Earth 2. Impact of Mars-sized planet - Formation of Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d196/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2. The Biggest Pollution Event of the Earth- At about 2.2 to 2.0 by sediment deposited on land develops a red color. Before that only oceans sedimentwas red
3. The presence of oxygen supported the developmentof more complex organisms (1.2 b.y)
Eukaryotes versus prokaryotes
4. Snowball Earth (600 to 700 m.y.)- Strange Climatic Conditions- The Entire Earth Froze-up
![Page 7: Lecture 13Overview of Earth’s History Hadean (4.5 to 3.9 b.y.) 1. Initial Formation of the Earth 2. Impact of Mars-sized planet - Formation of Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d196/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
5. The Origin of Animals (≈ 600 m.y.)- First Animals Lack Durable Hard Parts
- Fossil Evidence is Indirect- Called Trace Fossils
![Page 8: Lecture 13Overview of Earth’s History Hadean (4.5 to 3.9 b.y.) 1. Initial Formation of the Earth 2. Impact of Mars-sized planet - Formation of Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d196/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Paleozoic (250 to 540 m.y.)- Early Paleozoic (420 to 540 m.y.)
1. Origin of Animals with Skeletal Hard Parts
![Page 9: Lecture 13Overview of Earth’s History Hadean (4.5 to 3.9 b.y.) 1. Initial Formation of the Earth 2. Impact of Mars-sized planet - Formation of Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d196/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
During the Early Paleozoic a rich diversity of sea life existed
Q: What is missing in this photo?
![Page 10: Lecture 13Overview of Earth’s History Hadean (4.5 to 3.9 b.y.) 1. Initial Formation of the Earth 2. Impact of Mars-sized planet - Formation of Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d196/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
2. The continents are not fixed. They move - But,very slowly
![Page 11: Lecture 13Overview of Earth’s History Hadean (4.5 to 3.9 b.y.) 1. Initial Formation of the Earth 2. Impact of Mars-sized planet - Formation of Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d196/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Late Paleozoic (250 to 420 m.y.)3. Origin of Terrestrial Life
Toward the end of the Paleozoiclarge forests consisting of ferntrees were established
-These swampy forests ultimatelygenerated most of the world’s coal
![Page 12: Lecture 13Overview of Earth’s History Hadean (4.5 to 3.9 b.y.) 1. Initial Formation of the Earth 2. Impact of Mars-sized planet - Formation of Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d196/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Also during the Late Paleozoic land animals evolved
InsectsAmphibiansReptiles
![Page 13: Lecture 13Overview of Earth’s History Hadean (4.5 to 3.9 b.y.) 1. Initial Formation of the Earth 2. Impact of Mars-sized planet - Formation of Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d196/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
4. Also toward the end of the Late Paleozoic all of the continents wereassembled to form thesupercontinent Pangaea
Gradual movement of continents over geologic time is calledcontinental drift.
5. Permian Extinction
![Page 14: Lecture 13Overview of Earth’s History Hadean (4.5 to 3.9 b.y.) 1. Initial Formation of the Earth 2. Impact of Mars-sized planet - Formation of Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d196/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Mesozoic (66 to 250 m.y.)1. Break-up of Pangaea
- The result: Formation of the Atlantic Ocean
2. In terms of life this era is known as the Age of the Dinosaurs
![Page 15: Lecture 13Overview of Earth’s History Hadean (4.5 to 3.9 b.y.) 1. Initial Formation of the Earth 2. Impact of Mars-sized planet - Formation of Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d196/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3. During the Mesozoic other lifeforms developed

4. What happened at the end of the Mesozoic??
What caused the extinction of the dinosaurs?
![Page 17: Lecture 13Overview of Earth’s History Hadean (4.5 to 3.9 b.y.) 1. Initial Formation of the Earth 2. Impact of Mars-sized planet - Formation of Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d196/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The big one?
![Page 18: Lecture 13Overview of Earth’s History Hadean (4.5 to 3.9 b.y.) 1. Initial Formation of the Earth 2. Impact of Mars-sized planet - Formation of Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d196/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Where did this asteroid impact?
![Page 19: Lecture 13Overview of Earth’s History Hadean (4.5 to 3.9 b.y.) 1. Initial Formation of the Earth 2. Impact of Mars-sized planet - Formation of Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d196/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cenozoic (0 to 66 m.y.)
1. Global Cenozoic Plate Tectonics- The Mesozoic was a period in which continents were in general moving away from one another
- Exception: collision of India with Eurasia
2. The Mediterranean Basin about 6 to 7 m.y. ago
3. Cenozoic LifeMammals and flowering plants become dominant
![Page 20: Lecture 13Overview of Earth’s History Hadean (4.5 to 3.9 b.y.) 1. Initial Formation of the Earth 2. Impact of Mars-sized planet - Formation of Moon](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d196/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
4. The Quaternary “Ice Age” (0 to 2 m.y.)- Climate variability is the norm
Glacial versus interglacial periods
- The Quaternary glacial periods has it roots in thedevelopment of ice sheets at south pole over 30 m.y.
- In summary when looking at earth’s history as a whole ice sheets are rare even at the poles except during the last 30 m.y.
