The suffix "zoic" in the names of geologic eras signifies a period of abundant life or a distinctive type of life forms that existed during that era. It is derived from the Greek word "zoe," which means life. This naming convention helps geologists and paleontologists categorize and distinguish different eras based on the dominant life forms present at the time.

Why do eras stop and start?
Eras in history are typically defined by significant changes, such as political revolutions, technological advancements, or cultural shifts. These changes mark the end of one era and the beginning of another as societies evolve and adapt to new circumstances. Additionally, historians may retroactively classify time periods into eras based on these defining characteristics.

What marks the end of a geologic period?
Each era on the scale is separated from the next by a major event or change. Different spans of time on the time scale are usually delimited by major geological or paleontological events, such as mass extinctions.

They didn't. There is an alphabetical list of names and they go down the list of name for each storm. When they get to the end they start over and they alternate the genders of the names.

Which eras ended with a mass extinction?
Two major eras that ended with mass extinctions are the Permian-Triassic extinction event, which marked the end of the Permian period, and the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which marked the end of the Cretaceous period. These events had profound impacts on life on Earth, leading to the loss of a significant number of species.
What subdivisions make up the geologic time scale?
The geologic time scale is divided into periods, which are then divided into epochs, which are further divided into ages. For example, the time of the dinosaurs lasted 3 periods (Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous), each period had 3 epochs (late, early, middle), and each age fit into one of those. Many epochs have more than 1 age associated with them. As for the basis for differentiating the eras, I'm not so sure. The only one I can say for sure is the end of the Cretaceous, which is when the dinosaurs suddenly became extinct due to a meteor impact. I think the divisions are based on significant, global-scale events that changed the world.
How many eras divided in geological time?
Geological time periods are divided into Eons, Eras, Periods, and Epochs, sorted respectively in length. Officially there are only three eras of geological time. Before the named eras is the Precambrian time period, which is only divided up into three eons; the Hadean (4.6 - 4 billion years ago), the Archean (4 - 2.5 billion years) , and the Proterozoic (2.5 billion to 545 million years ago). For eras next is the Paleozoic Era, which ranges from 545 million years to 245 million years ago. The first fish and first land plants occured, as well as the first amphibians followed by the first reptiles. Right at the end the first dinosaurs evolved. The next era is the Mesozoic, a short one. This was the dinosaur's era, for it contained the Triassic, the Jurassic, and the Cretaceous Periods. It was during the Triassic that Pangea first broke up. Towards the end of the Cretaceous Period, Most of the dinosaurs were extinct. It was in the Mesozoic Era that the first mammals appeared. Finally we have the Cenozoic Era, which ranges from 66 million years ago to the present day. In this era most of the mountain ranges formed which we know today, and also the Ice Age occured. epochs and periods {apex}
