The Paleoproterzoic Era (2,500 - 1,600 ma) was the longest era in geological time. It lasted 900 million years. This represents 19.8% of geological time.

What are the three major strengths of darwins work?
evidence in real time - finches fossil evidence evidence now backed up by genetics geological evidence of strata not just fossils
What geological time period did human life occur in?
Human life has occurred in the Quaternary Period, which started around 2.6 million years ago and continues to the present day. The Quaternary is the most recent period in Earth's history and is characterized by the presence of modern humans (Homo sapiens) and significant glaciation events.
What do periods on the geologic time scale represent?
Periods on the geologic time scale represent units of time that divide eras into smaller segments. They typically last tens of millions of years and are defined by distinctive rock layers and characteristics of the Earth's environment. Each period is marked by significant shifts in global climate, the evolution of life forms, and geological events.
Who was a confidant of Darwin who introduced the concept of evolution into geological theory?
I think you mean the concept of gradualism and the man is Charles Lyell, whose geological concept proceeded Darwin's biological concept and also gave Darwin his ideas on ages of the earth and gradual processes over time. I can think of not other geologist that was a confidant of Darwin, though Adam Sedgewick, a geologist, was am early teacher of Darwin. He was a catastrophist though.
What is proterozoic?
The Proterozoic is a geological eon that spans from around 2.5 billion to 541 million years ago. It is characterized by the appearance of complex life forms, including the first multicellular organisms and the rise of eukaryotic cells. The Proterozoic also saw the formation of vast supercontinents, significant changes in Earth's atmosphere, and the development of oxygen-producing photosynthetic organisms.
WHAT IS THE The geological era about which we have the least information called?
The Precambrian is the geological era about which we have the least information, as it covers an extensive period of time from the formation of the Earth to the beginning of the Paleozoic era, and much of the evidence from this era has been altered or eroded over time.
What is geological scale?
The geological time scale organizes a long period of time.
What does the geological timescale encompass?
IT encompasses all of the geological time period that have happened since the begin of time
Why there is a need to have proportion at all time?
There is no need to have it at all time.
What is direct proportion?
a waste of time learning
Is 100 years long in geological time?
For most geological processes, 100 years is a very short time, so to answer your question, no.
What is time in geology?
Geological time starts at the Big bang. For example, if a scientist says that a 1000years is not a long time in "geological time" they simply mean on a timescale a thousand years in nothing
What does one Ma on the geological time scale represent?
One million years on the geological time scale represents one million years of Earth's history. It is a unit of time used to measure and discuss long-term geological events and processes.
What has the author James Croll written?
James Croll has written: 'Climate and time in their geological relations' -- subject(s): Geological time, Glacial epoch, Climatology, Ocean currents 'Stellar evolution and its relations to geological time' -- subject(s): Cosmogony
What geological time are you in?
the neozoic era
Which unit of geological time is the least?
It is an epoch.
What is the largest divisions of geological time?
The Precambrian.
