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 can't we find rocks from the Hadean period?
Earth's temperature was too high for solid rocks to form.
Which geological events destroy a part of the rock record?
Uplift and erosion over a long period of time are some of the various geologic events that can occur to eventually destroy a part of the rock record
What are two ways that a rock layer can cause a gap in geologic record?
When rock layers are eroded or when a sediment is not deposited for a long period of time.
Why is uplift and erosion over a long period of time destroy a part of the rock record?
I don't understand the question
What eon has no rock record?
the Hadean eon
What is the nickname for the Hadean time period?
"The Hadean time period is often referred to as the 'Hadean Eon.'"
What three eons comprise the Pre-Cambriam period?
The Hadean, Archean, and the protozoic eons.

How long did the Precambrain last?
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.
What started the precambrian era?
The Precambrian period really doesn't have an upper boundary. When the earth was made it was too hot to keep a crust. The Hadean basically started with the sun exploding. The formation of the oldest rock stared the Archean era as we know it. The fossils of visible life ended it.
What is a very large period of time?
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.
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.
