History is usually considered to be restricted to the period of time where mankind was able to write down and record events. History is the study of these records.
If one hoes back to a time where no records are available (because they have been lost or before writing was invented, then one relies on other (superposition and radio isotope) dating and the discipline is called "Archeology.
As one goes back further before the first people made objects that can be found one enters the field of "Geology" which studies the evolution of life and the formation of the planet Earth.
Going back still further, before Earth formed, the discipline is called "Cosmology".
What else can I help you with?
Can dirt and sand turn into rock?
If put under tremendous pressure for millions of years - which is what happened to slate and sandstone.
What happened around 800 millions years after earth formed to allow rock formations?
earth cooled suffciently
Do you think that earthquakes happened million of years ago?
Sure, of course. Millions of years ago, tectonic plates were shifting just as they are today, and shifting tectonic plates can and do cause earthquakes, therefor earthquakes did occur millions of years ago.
What crystal is millions of years old?
Amber is a fossiled tree resin, which is millions of years old
What have happened at Stanston over millions of years to form the sequence of rocks shown?
Over millions of years, the geological history of Stanston involved processes such as sedimentation, erosion, and tectonic activity. Sedimentary layers were deposited in various environments, leading to diverse rock formations. Subsequently, tectonic forces may have uplifted and folded these layers, altering their orientation and structure. Additionally, volcanic activity or metamorphism could have further influenced the rock sequence, resulting in the complex geological profile observed today.
What is History whether it happened millions of years ago or only a few years ago?
History is the study and interpretation of past events, encompassing everything from ancient civilizations to recent occurrences. It provides context for understanding human behavior, societal changes, and cultural evolution over time. Whether events occurred millions of years ago or just a few years back, history helps us learn from the past to inform our present and future decisions. Ultimately, it connects us to our shared heritage and influences our identity.
Why should humans be worried about what happened to ancient forests that are millions of years old?
I'm not aware that anyone is worried about ancient forests, but there are many scientists who would like to know more about those ancient forests and their environments millions of years ago. By studying the history of our planet, we can get clues about the future of our planet.
How many years of earth history was precambrian time?
from about 4.6 billion to 543 millions years ago
Is it possible for scientists to do studies about things that happened millions of years ago?
Yes, scientists can study things that happened millions of years ago by examining fossils, rocks, and other geological evidence. By analyzing these remnants, scientists can reconstruct past environments, species, and events through techniques like radiometric dating and fossil analysis. This allows us to gain insights into Earth's history and evolution.
What is the history of most destructive floods all over the world?
Several floods in the Yellow River in China have produced death tolls of millions throughout the years Nothing else compares and this has happened on a number of occasions
Do you think earthquakes happened millions of years ago?
It is certain... look-up "Pangaea" or (List of supercontinents).
Why do people seek answers from millions of years ago?
Because they are curious. They want to know what happened in the past.
In the entire history of earth are we using the same water and the same amount of water millions of years ago?
No! It's logical to conclude that small traces of water may have entered the earth's atmosphere through debris coming from space but on a question whether we've been using the same water in circulation since millions of years ago,Definitely yes!
What historical events happened during 1931-1940?
Many things happened but maybe the most important was the start of World War 2 (WW2). the war that was one of the worst things to ever happen in history. Killing millions of people during those horrific six years.
Are opossoms blind?
No they just have bad eye sight because of when something happened like millions of years ago.
Can dirt and sand turn into rock?
If put under tremendous pressure for millions of years - which is what happened to slate and sandstone.
What happened around 800 millions years after earth formed to allow rock formations?
earth cooled suffciently
