True or false the first era the precambria era lasted 4 billion year and was the longest era during that time the earth had no solid crust?
It is best to break down the question into smaller parts.1) The Precambrian was the 1st Era? (FALSE)The Precambrian was a super-eon not an era. It was the 1st of the 2 Super-Eons.The 1st named era was the Eoarchean Era (3,800 - 3600 Ma). This was during the Archean Eon (3,800 - 2,500 Ma). This was proceeded by the Hadean Eon (4,600 - 3,800) but no Eras from this time have been named. These were all in the Precambrian Super-Eon (4,600 - 542 Ma).2) The Precambrian was the longest Era? (FALSE)The longest era also occurred in the Precambrian. This was the Paleoproterozoic Era (2,500 - 1,600 Ma) which lasted 900 million years.3) The Precambrian lasted 4 billion years (TRUE)The Precambrian was the longer of the 2 super-eons. It lasted from 4,500 to 542 million years ago, some 3.96 billion years, compared to the current super-eon that has lasted a mere 542 million years.4) During the Precambrian the Earth had no solid crust (FALSE)The Earth is approximately 4,600 million years old. According to the latest theory 4,530 a Mars sized planet called theia hit the earth causing the crust to in part or totally melt (It also gave rise to the moon). Estimates suggest that over the next 30 million years the crust was able to solidify so when the Precambrian Super-Eon started the crust was solid. Certainly by 3,500 million years ago there was life. Fossilized stromatolites have been found at this time. There is no known life that can survive at the temperates necessary for molten rock so the crust must have cooled and solidified by this time.

What is hadean era?
In geologic time, the Hadean is the first EONof Earth's history, from it's formation 4.57 billion years ago to about 4 billion years ago. The Hadean is not an era, which is a smaller subdivision of geologic time.
What is the hadean era?
In geologic time, the Hadean is the first EONof Earth's history, from it's formation 4.57 billion years ago to about 4 billion years ago. The Hadean is not an era, which is a smaller subdivision of geologic time.
How long hadean era last?
The Hadean Eon lasted from Earths formation about 4.5762 billion years ago until 4 billion years ago, some 576.2 million years.
How many years did the Precambrian Era span?
The Proterozoic eon was the third eon in Earth history. It lasted from 2.5 billion years ago to 542 million years ago. Therefor, the Proterozoic was nearly 2 billion years long.
The longest era lasting about 4 billion years was what era?
The Precambrian Super-Eon is the informal name for the time on earth before the Cambrian Period. It lasted from 4,576 millions years ago until 542 million years ago, about 4.034 billion years.No geological era lasted as long. The longest era was the Paleoproterozic Era(2,500 - 1,600Ma) which lasted 900 million years.
How Earth formed about years ago?
The present best estimate is 4.6 billion years.
How long was the prehistoric era?
Paleozoic Era ran from about 542 million years ago to 251 millions years ago.
Did life exist 1.7 billion years ago?
Yes. Life on Earth first emerged 3.8 to 4 billion years ago.
About how many years of Earth's history was PreCambrian?
Earth was formed somehwat less than 4.6 billion years ago. The Cambrian Era begins around 542 million years ago. Subtracting these times provides for a PreCambrian Era of around 4 billion years in length. This time period makes up around 87% of Earth's total history.
Did the first cells appear ten billion years ago?
No. Earth itself is "only" about 4.6 billion years old. The first life may have emerged about 4 billion years ago.
Why did big bang happen?
4 billion years ago
What is the oldest era to the most recent?
The oldest named Era was the Eoarchean Era from 4 to 3.6 billion years ago. This was preceeded by the Hadean Eon (4,576.2 to 4,000 Ma) but this so far is not subdivided into eras.
