The Cambrian Period is called the Cambrian Explosion because it is characterized by a sudden increase in the diversity of multicellular life forms, including the appearance of many major groups of organisms. This period saw the rapid evolution and proliferation of complex marine life forms, marking a significant point in the history of life on Earth.
The Cambrian period was marked by a rapid diversification of life known as the Cambrian explosion, where many new body plans and major animal groups appeared. This period saw the emergence of various marine organisms with complex body structures, leading to a significant increase in biological diversity.
The Cambrian period is also called the "Cambrian explosion" due to the sudden appearance and diversification of many major animal groups.
Cambrian explosion. This event marked a rapid diversification of life forms and the emergence of many major animal groups. It is considered a key period in the history of life on Earth.
The Cambrian period marked the diversification of multicellular life forms, leading to the development of many major animal groups known today. This period is often referred to as the "Cambrian explosion" due to the rapid evolution of diverse body plans and the emergence of complex organisms with hard parts.

Cambrian.
The sudden appearance of most of the major animal phyla within the fossils early in the Cambrian period. This caused a sudden diversification of life.

The Cambrian Period, approximately 541 million years ago, is known as the "Cambrian Explosion" because of the rapid diversification and increase in the variety of life forms on Earth during that time. This period saw the emergence of most major groups of animals that exist today.
The Cambrian Period was from about 543 to 490 million years ago. It is the earliest period in the Paleozoic ("old life") Era. Until relatively recently paleontologists thought this marked the beginning of life. Primitive life is now know from the Pre-Cambrian Eon.
No. Primitive algae existed but true plants did not. There was no life on land in the Cambrian.

life during the early Cambrian period
During the Cambrian period, life began to appear on the planet.
