How far 3 cm per year in kilometers will it spread in a million years?
It will spread: 3*1,000,000 = 3,000,000 cm => 30 kilometers
How long has man been around?
The human species (Homo Sapiens sapiens) started its existence between 110 000 and 50 000 years ago. Its development diverged from the apes about 5 million years ago. The earth has been capable of supporting life for about 3 billion years, and is expected to continue being able to support life for about 5 billion years in the future. If we viewed the period of being able to support life as 24 hours, then we are now about 9 o'clock in the morning, humans diverged from the apes about a minute ago and the human species started to exist 1-2 seconds ago. However life on the earth has only existed for about 1% of the time the earth has existed..
What was the atmosphere 4500 million years ago?
Well, the Universe has only existed for about 14.7 billion years, so the first 433 billion years were uninteresting. Then the Earth only formed about 4 - 5 billion years ago, so the atmosphere was very tenuous until that time.
What are the differences between the paleozoic mesozoic and Cenozoic eras?
The Paleozoic, the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic are the 3 Eras of the Phanerozoic Eon.The Paleozoic Era occurred between 542 and 251 million years ago. It lasted 291 million years. It was made up of 6 geological periods. The Cambrian Period(542 - 488Ma), the Ordovician(488 - 443Ma), the Silurian(433 - 416Ma), the Devonian(416 - 359Ma), the Carboniferous(359 - 299Ma) and the Permian(299 - 251Ma).The Mesozoic Era occurred between 251 and 65.5 million years ago. It lasted 185.5 million years. It was made up of 3 geological periods. The Triassic Period (251 - 199.6Ma), the Jurassic(199.6 - 145.5Ma) and the Cretaceous(145.5Ma).The Cenozoic Era occurred between 65.5 million years ago to now. It has lasted 65.5 million years to date. It has been made up of 3 geological periods to date. The Paleogene(65.5 - 23.03Ma), the Neogene(23.03 - 2.588Ma) and the current period the Quaternary Period (2.588Ma - Now)
How long ago did multicellular life forms appear in the fossil record?
According to the fossil record, multicellular life forms first appeared about 570 million years ago. This means multicellular organisms appeared almost 3 billion years after the first evidence of life.
