How many eons are there?
There are four eons dividing the geologic scale. Three occurred during the Precambrian era.
What is a division on the geologic time scale?
The divisions of the geologic time scale are divided into four eras. from earliest to closer to the present is the Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, Cenozoic. During these time periods, there were several major evolutionary events. Most commonly known are the dinosaurs and humans. Hope that helped :)
Why is the shield also referred to as the Precambrian Shield?
Because it was created in the precambrian era...The Candadian Shield was formed in the Precambrian Era.The rocks of the Canadian Shield formed during the Precambrian time.
When did the ediacaran fauna exist?
The ediacaran fauna lived during Precambrian time and became extinct then, too. Nobody knows for sure why, but trilobites might have caused their disappearance.
Cyanobacteria are as significant to this process today as they were during precambrian time?

What is the essential difference between Uniformitarianism and Catastrophism?
Uniformitarianism is a principle that geologic processes that occurred in the past can be explained by current geologic processes. So, it is the idea that the same geologic processes that same Earth today have been at work during all of Earth's history. Catastrophism is a principle that states that geologic change occurs suddenly. Catastrophies include floods, asteroids, earthquakes, etc. Today, modern geology is based on the idea that gradual geologic change is interrupted by catastrophies.
What is the longest Eon in the Geologic Timescale?
The oldest eon of geologic time is the Archaean Eon of the Precambrian period. The oldest rocks and fossils date from this time, about 3.8 to 2.5 billion years ago. (Prior to that, the Hadean Eon began with the formation of the Earth. No geologic record exists from the Hadean, during which the Earth cooled from its molten state.)
Why is the shield also referred to as the Precambrian Shield?
Because it was created in the precambrian era...The Candadian Shield was formed in the Precambrian Era.The rocks of the Canadian Shield formed during the Precambrian time.
What major change occurred in the atmosphere during the precambrian?
The atmosphere, during the Precambrian became richer in oxygen caused by a bacteria called cyanobacteria.
Why is the Canadian Shield also referred as the Precambrian Shield?
Because it was created in the precambrian era...The Candadian Shield was formed in the Precambrian Era.The rocks of the Canadian Shield formed during the Precambrian time.

Why are there no precambrian coal beds?
No plants existed during the Precambrian. The formation of coal beds relied on vegetation.
The of the earth was formed during the precambrian Era?
Yes it was
During the Precambrian era what dinosaurs were present?
