That is a good question. Actually the Precambrian is divided into sections. Wikipedia has a good review of its subsections.

What are the subdivisions of the Precambrian era?
The Precambrian Era can be divided into three major eras. These eras include the Hadean, the Archean, and the Proterozoic.
Where was precambrian era?
it was on earth the precambrian era is an era that happend several million years ago on the earths surface
what is the longest and oldest era of earths history?
The Longest Era of Earths History is Paleoproterozoic Eralasting 900 million years.The largest unit of time in relation to Earth's history is the super-eon. Super-eons are divided into eons. Eons in turn are divided into eras, eras are divided into periods, periods into Epochs and Epochs in Ages.Precambrian Super-Eon (4,600 - 542 Ma)Hadean Eon (4,600 - 3,800 Ma)Archean Eon (3,800 - 2,500 Ma)Eoarchean Era (3,800 - 3,600 Ma)Paleoarchean Era (3,600 - 3,200 Ma)Mesoarchean Era (3,200 - 2,800 Ma)Neoarchean Era (2,800 - 2,500 Ma)Proterozoic Eon (2,500 - 542 Ma)Paleoproterozoic Era (2,500 - 1,600 Ma)Mesoproterozoic Era (1,600 - 1,000 Ma)Neoproterozoic Era (1,000 - 542 Ma)Modern Super-Eon (542 Ma - Now)Phanerozoic Eon (542 Ma - now)Paleozoic Era (542 -251 Ma)Mezozoic Era (251 - 65 Ma)Cenozoic Era (65 Ma - Now)
What is the time range of Precambrian Era?
Precambrian time - The period in the geologic time scale from the formation of the Earth to the beginning of the Palezonoic era, from about 4.6 billion to 543 million years ago.
Early organisms in the Precambrian era converted what to oxygen?
Carbon Dioxcide
What era featured the longest periods with no life forms on Earth.?
Precambrian
What are the periods that make up the precambrian Era?
4,028,000,000 years.
What are the subdivisions of the Precambrian era?
The Precambrian Era can be divided into three major eras. These eras include the Hadean, the Archean, and the Proterozoic.
What is a division on the geologic time scale?
The divisions of the geologic time scale are divided into four eras. from earliest to closer to the present is the Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, Cenozoic. During these time periods, there were several major evolutionary events. Most commonly known are the dinosaurs and humans. Hope that helped :)
How many periods are in each era?
there are different periods in each era. In the Cenozoic era, there are 2 periods, Quaternary and Tertiary. Mesozoic era has 3 periods, Cretaceous, Jurassic, and Triassic. Paleozoic has 7 periods, Permian, Carboniferous, Devonian, Silurian, Ordovician, and Cambrian. Precambrian is just the present, no time periods in it.
The two eras of the Precambrian period are?
Archeozoic and ProterozoicThe two periods of the Cenozoic Era are the Tertiary and the Quatemary.
How geologists designate the different time periods in earths ancient past?
Geologists divide Earth's history into supereons (there's only one, the precambrian), supereons are divided into eons (there are four), eons are divided into eras, eras are divided into periods (Periods may be the most common divisions you read about. The Jurassic is a period), periods are divided into epochs, epochs are divided into ages.After the first era (the Cryptic) The various divisions are mostly determined buy the emergence of some form of life.
What era is divided into Triassic?
The Mesozoic era is divided into Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous time periods.
The largest division of geological time is called?
The Archean Eon, which is part of the Precambrian period along with the Proterozoic Eon.
Did the precambrian era occur first?
Yes. The first era was the precambrian era followed by the paleozoic era then the mesozoic era than the Cenozoic era.
Historians know least about era do?
**Precambrian**
When was the Founding Era?
the Precambrian era
