These three eons form the Pre-Cambrian supereon.
archean eon
Hadean, Archeozoic, Proterozoic, Phanerozoic
The Hadean, Archean, and the protozoic eons.
The Hadean Eon, the earliest time interval, was when the Earth was cooling, and continents and oceans formed. Lifeforms are thought to have appeared in the following eon, the Archean Eon.(eras are a much smaller time interval, and the Hadean is not normally subdivided into these)
The Precambrian is infact divided into 3 - the Hadean(4500-3950 Ma), Archaean (3950-2500 Ma), and Proterozoic (2500-542 Ma) Eons.Ma = Mega-annum and means 1 million years. So 4500 Ma = 4500 million years old.The Archean and Proterozoic Eons are in turn subdivided into Eras as follows:Archean:3950 MaEoarchean3600 MaPaleoarchean3200 MaMesoarchean2800 MaNeoarchean2500 MaProterozoic:2500 MaPaleoproterozoic1600 MaMesoproterozoic1000 MaNeoproterozoic542 MaPlease see the realted links for more information.
Hadean, Archean, and Proterozoic
There are 4 eras, and they are the Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic, and Phanerozoic eras.
The Precambrian Era can be divided into three major eras. These eras include the Hadean, the Archean, and the Proterozoic.
Precambrian is an informal term for the time before the Cambrian Period, the first period of the Phanerozoic Eon. The Precambrian consists of three eons, the Hadean, the Archean, and the Proterozoic. The Hadean Eon is about 760,000,000 years long. The Archean Eon is about 1,300,000,000 years long. The Proterozoic Eon is about 1,960,000,000 years long This comes to a total of 4,025,000,000 years.
Precambrian - It extends from 4.6 billion years ago to the beginning of the Cambrian Period (about 541 Ma). It includes three eons, the Hadean, Archean, and Proterozoic.
A geologic eon is a very large period of time, typically encompassing billions of years. Examples include the Hadean, Archean, and Proterozoic eons in the Earth's history.

Most abstract:1. Supereon: Precambrian and "n/a" or not named yet.2. Eon: Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic and Phanerozoic.3. Era: Cryptic (....many others...) Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic.Human history is divided into ages; including the Neolithic, Stone, Iron, Bronze, Middle, Industrial and Digital. There are no three "major" divisions.
