The Precambrian (or Cryptozoic)

- is the earliest part of Earth's history, set

before the current Phanerozoic Eon.
- The Precambrian is the name given for the first super eon of Earth’s history.

 Hadean eon
Hadeon Eon (4.6 billion years ago) and it was named for the mythological Hades.

the story of earth starts

here and there are no
fossils recorded by this
time because of high temperature.
 Hadean eon
During that time, solar system was forming within a cloud of dust and gas
known as the Solar Nebula.

Astrogeophysicists that 4.52 billion years ago, the proto-earth collided with
a mars size named Theia.

 Hadean eon
Hadean Eon is often characterized by extreme volcanism as Earth continued to cool. Large
amounts of water would have been in the material which formed the Earth.

Water molecules would have escaped Earth’s gravity more easily when it was less massive
during the formation. Hydrogen and helium are expected to continually leak from the atmosphere
during this time.

 Two lunar divisions
Pre – Nectarian
- from the formation of the moon's crust (4,533 million years ago) up to about 3,920 million
years ago.

Nectarian
- ranging from 3,920 million years ago up to about 3,850 million years ago, in a time when
the late heavy bombardment, according to that theory, was in a stage of decline.
 Hadean eon
− In the Hadean Eon, we obtain a heat source, magnetic field and formation of a moon. There
are no fossil records because temperature is too high to sustain life.

− Geologists found zircon crystals in sediments in the Canadian and Australian finds that were
much older.
 Highlight of What Happened in Hadeon Eon:

• First is earth coalescing, it is from a cloud of dust.

• Second is water, some scientist believe that water originated from the bombardment of comets.

• Third is moon formation, the giant impact hypothesis describes it is an object, the size of Mars
heading towards Earth at tremendous speed after delivering a glancing blow to earth gravity pulls
this object into orbit.
 Highlight of What Happened in Hadeon Eon:

• Fourth is core accretion, based on the core accretion model gravity was the driver coalescing
Earth from a cloud of dust.

• Fifth is magnetic field, it is formed from solid inner core heats the outer liquid layer that produces
convection currents.

• The last is late bombardment stage, where earth was hit by asteroid, comets and foreign objects
left, right and center.
 Hadean eon
− The Hadean Eon is characterized by Earth’s initial formation—from the accretion of dust and
gases and the frequent collisions of larger planetesimals—and by the stabilization of its core
and crust and the development of its atmosphere and oceans.

− The Moon is also thought to have formed during the Hadean Eon, and several theories of the
Moon’s origin have been posited.
