What period came first Jurassic cretaceous or triassic?
jurassic The Triassic was the earliest period of the Mesozoic, followed by the Jurassic then the Cretaceous. The Cretaceous was of the greatest duration.
What era is divided into Triassic?
The Mesozoic era is divided into Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous time periods.
Eras are divided into periods which can be further divided into?
Eras divide into periods and periods divide into epochs. The Palaeozoic Era is composed of the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian periods (in that order). The Mesozoic Era is divided into the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. The Cenozoic Era is divided into the Tertiary and Quaternary periods. The Tertiary period is divided into the Palaeocene, Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene and Pliocene epochs while the Quaternary period is divided into the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs. Note that eras are not the longest lengths of time. Eras may compose longer stretches of time known as eons/aeons.
Dinosaurs died in what geological period?
Dinosaurs died in the Cretaceous, Jurassic, and Triassic periods, but became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous.
What are the different era?
Modern dating techniques have given a range of dates as to when the various geologic time periods have started, as they are listed below: Cenozoic Quaternary Holocene 10,000 years ago Estimated millions of years: Pleistocene 1.9 Tertiary Pliocene 6 Miocene 25 Oligocene 38 Eocene 55 Paleocene 65 Mesozoic Cretaceous 135 Jurassic 200 Triassic 250 Paleozoic Permian 285 Carboniferous (divided into 350 Mississippian and Pennsylvanian periods by some in the U.S.) Devonian 410 Silurian 425 Ordovician 500 Cambrian 570 Precambrian Proterozoic 2500 Archeozoic 3800 Azoic 4600
The major divisions in geologic time are?
Precambrian Paleozoic: -cambrian -ordovician -silurian -devonian -mississippian -pennsylvanian -permian Mezozoic: -triassic -jurassic -cretaceous Cenozoic: -tertiary -quaternary
What are the major subdivisions of geologic times?
The major subdivisions are the Precambrian, Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic, which are subdivided into Archean and Proterozoic (Precambrian), Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous (or Missisipian and Pennsylvanian in the US) and Permian (Palaeozoic), Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous (Mesozoic) and Tertiary and Quaternary (Cenozoic).

What are the areas on the geologic time scale?
Paleozoic Era- Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian Mass Extinction (Permian-Tertiary) 248 mya Mesozoic Era- Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous Mass Extinction (K-T) 65 mya Cenozoic- Tertiary, Quaternary
What was before Triassic Period?
Carboniferous Silurian Ordovician Devonian Cambrian Pre Cambrian
What are the extinction of animals in the very distant past?
There were five major extinction events in the past. They are called the Cretaceous-Tertiary (or K-T) extinction event, the late Devonian mass extinction, the Permian mass extinction, the Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction and the Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction event.
How many periods are in each era?
there are different periods in each era. In the Cenozoic era, there are 2 periods, Quaternary and Tertiary. Mesozoic era has 3 periods, Cretaceous, Jurassic, and Triassic. Paleozoic has 7 periods, Permian, Carboniferous, Devonian, Silurian, Ordovician, and Cambrian. Precambrian is just the present, no time periods in it.
What is the order of the eras?
PRECAMBRIAN(Precambrian)FIRST INVERTEBRATES PALEOZOIC(Cambrian)FIRST FISHES(Ordovician)FIRST LAND PLANTS(Silurian)(Devonian)FIRST AMPHIBIANS.(Carboniferous,Mississippian,Pennsylvanian)FIRST REPTILES (Permian) MESOZOIC(Triassic)FIRST DINOSAURS, MAMMALS, and BIRDS. (Jurassic)(Cretaceous)END OF DINOSAURS CENOZOIC(Tertiary)BIRTH OF JESUS(Quaternary)DEATH OF JESUS
In what geologic time period did the Triassic Jurrassic and Cretaceous occur?
That is easy, the first is precambrian time, next you get the paleozoic era, which has Cambrian, ordovician, silurian, denovonian, carbonferious periods, Next you get the mesozoic era which contains the next three, which are triassic, jurrasic, and cretacous periods. Lasty you get the Cenozoic era which contains the last two which are the tertiary, and the quaternary!
What are the next 2 letters in the series q t c j t p p m d s?
The next two letters are 'O' and 'C'. They are the first letters of the periods and systems in geologic time, from most recent to oldest. Quaternary, Tertiary, Cretaceous, Jurassic, Triassic, Permian, Pennsylvanian, Mississippian, Devonian, Silurian. The next two are Ordovician and Cambrian.
What period came first Jurassic cretaceous or triassic?
jurassic The Triassic was the earliest period of the Mesozoic, followed by the Jurassic then the Cretaceous. The Cretaceous was of the greatest duration.
Did the earth experience over a dozen great mass extinction?
there were 11 mass extintions.1 Precambrian(Paleozoic)2 Cambrian,3 Ordovician,4 Silurian,5 Devonian,6 Carboniferous,7 Permian.(Mesozoic)8 Triassic,9 jurassic,10 Cretaceous.(Cenozoic)11 tertiary, 0 quaternary/today.
What were the 5 major extinction events in earth history?
They are the end-Ordovician extinction, end-Devonian extinction, end-Permian extinction, the Triassic extinction, end-Cretaceous extinction.
