Formation of the Solar System (4.6 billion years ago): Earth formed as part of the solar nebula, a cloud of gas and dust in space. Gravity caused particles to come together, forming the Sun and the planets, including Earth.
Hadean Eon (4.6 to 4 billion years ago): During this period, Earth was a hot, molten world bombarded by meteorites and intense volcanic activity. It was not a hospitable place for life.
Archean Eon (4 to 2.5 billion years ago): The Earth's surface began to cool, and the first continents formed. Simple, single-celled life forms, such as bacteria and archaea, appeared in the oceans. The atmosphere lacked oxygen.
Proterozoic Eon (2.5 billion to 541 million years ago): The first eukaryotic cells (cells with a nucleus) evolved, leading to more complex life forms. Oxygen levels in the atmosphere increased due to photosynthetic bacteria.
Phanerozoic Eon (541 million years ago to the present): This eon is divided into three eras:
a. Paleozoic Era (541 to 252 million years ago): During this era, multicellular life forms diversified, and the first animals with hard shells appeared. The supercontinent Pangaea formed and broke apart.
b. Mesozoic Era (252 to 66 million years ago): Dinosaurs ruled the land, and flowering plants and mammals emerged. This era ended with a mass extinction event, likely caused by a comet or asteroid impact.
c. Cenozoic Era (66 million years ago to the present): This era saw the rise of mammals and birds as dominant life forms. Modern ecosystems, including humans, evolved during this time.
Quaternary Period (2.6 million years ago to the present): This period includes the most recent Ice Ages and the development of modern humans (Homo sapiens). It is marked by significant climate fluctuations and the expansion of human civilization.
Present Day: Earth continues to evolve, with ongoing geological and biological processes shaping the planet. Human activities have also had a profound impact on the environment, including climate change and habitat destruction.
