地质年代的由来（The origin of geological time） Anyone who has been in junior high school may know that the earth has a history of 4 billion 600 million years, and many people may also understand the basic processes and principles of formation. In addition, in recent years, people are familiar with the words Cambrian, Jurassic, Cretaceous and quaternary. But how do these nouns come from? Im afraid a lot of people are just a little hazy impression As you know, the age of the earth is divided into units according to the age of the strata, so that we can make a representation of the evolution of the earth and life. People are accustomed to according to the biological situation, so put the entire 4 billion 600 million years into two large units: those who do not see or it is difficult to see the biological time called cryptozoic, and will be able to see a certain amount of life after the age is called the phanerozoic. The upper limit of the eon eon is the origin of the earth, but its lower limit age is not an absolutely accurate figure, which is generally pushed 600 million years ago, and pushed to 570 million years ago. From 600 million or 570 million years to now is called the phanerozoic. The universe is divided into generations. The general classification methods are as follows: Archean, Proterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic five generations. Archean generally refers to the formation of the earth and the chemical evolution of this period, can be from 4 billion 600 million to 3 billion 800 million years ago or 3 billion 400 million years ago, the difference with the number of years this number has hundreds of millions, because the oldest life or traces of life we can grasp the present and there are many uncertain factors. The Proterozoic, immediately after the Archean, was generally lower than before the Cambrian explosion, which was present 570 million or 600 million years ago. The two names of Archean and Proterozoic in 1863 by the American Luogang name, his name me
