Many of Earth's geological time periods are named based on the events, characteristics, or places associated with that time period. Therefore, understanding the story behind each of Earth's geological time periods makes them much easier to remember and understand in relation to each other.
Earth's four geological eons are also named after the story behind them. Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic, and Phanerozoic all got their names from the underlying conditions prevalent on Earth during those eons. #science #didyouknow #geology #earthscience #biology
