How long did each paleozoic period last?
The Paleozoic Era began about 540 million years ago and ended about 245 million years ago. Therefore, it lasted about 290 million years. Sources: My Earth Science book and my great brain.
How many years ago did the precambian era begin?
About 542 mya ( million years ago ).
Is the Mesozoic Era the longest?
The answer is NOOOO!!!! It is not the longest Era!!! The Precambrian consisted of the Archean and Proterozoic Eras which each pull roughly 2 billion years of geologic time making up the first 4 billion years of Earth. The Archean from 4.5 Billion Years Ago to about 2.5 BYA and the Proterozoic from 2.5 BYA to about 570 MYA. The Paleozoic which preceded the Mesozoic lasted about 345 Million years (570 MYA- 225 MYA) and the Mesozoic lasted about 215 Million years (225 MYA- 65 MYA).

What does dinosaurs lived 145-130 mya mean?
"Mya" is an abbreviation for "millions of years ago." So "Dinosaurs lived 145 - 130 mya" means that they lived from 145 to 130 million years ago. However, although dinosaurs lived during that time, they first evolved 220 mya and the non avian dinosaur died out 65.5 mya. Avian dinosaurs (birds), still exist to the present day.

15000 MYA means 15000 Million Years Ago, or 15 billion years ago, longer than the approximate age of the universe (13.8 billion years). MYA can also be represented by the SI value "Ma" meaning mega-annum, so that 15000 Ma = 15 Ga (giga-annum).
How did the Cenozoic era begin?
The Cenozoic Era is currently divided into 3 Periods and 7 Epochs. There is even an argument at the moment for an 8th Epoch,The Cenozoic Eta (65.5 Ma - Now)Paleogene Period (65.5 - 23.03 Ma) Paleocene Epoch (65.5 - 55.8 Ma)(65 mya to 55 mya - Rise of Mammals)Eocene Epoch (55.8 - 33.9 Ma)(55 mya to 38 mya - Saber Tooth Cats, Primitive Horses)Oligpcene Epoch (33.9 - 23.03Ma)(38 mya to 25 mya - First Primates)Neogene Period (23.03 - 2.588 Ma)Miocene Epoch (23.03 - 5.332Ma)(25 mya to 5 mya - Apes)Pliocene Epoch (5.332 - 2.588Ma)(5 mya to 2 mya - First Man)Quaternary Period (2.588 Ma - now) Pleistocene Epoch (2,588 - 11.7 Ka)(2 mya to 10,000 years ago - The Rise of Man)Holocene Epoch (11.7 Ka - Now)(10,000 years ago to present - Modern Man)mya=million years ago
