Geological time periods

This is the earths form of order the extinction came by.Life on Earth originated about 2 billion years ago, but there are no good fossil remains from periods earlier than the Cambrian, which began about 490 million years ago. The known geological history of Earth since the Precambrian Time is subdivided into three eras, each of which includes a number of periods.Earth's geologic epochs—time periods defined by evidence in rock layers—typically last more than three million years. We're barely 11,500 years into the current epoch, the Holocene. But a new paper argues that we've already entered a new one—the Anthropocene, or "new man," epoch.The great Precambrian expanse of time is divided into the Proterozoic, Archean, and Hadean eons in order of increasing age. The names of the eras in the Phanerozoic eon (the eon of visible life) are the Cenozoic ("recent life"), Mesozoic ("middle life") and Paleozoic ("ancient life").

Saving the whales

22nd and 23rd of September

On Friday after school at spicificly 3:30 me and my mum went to pick up Jemma as we pulled out of the drive I closed the gate peering over the other side of the yard.All I see is my little Guinea pigs snowy and flash looking at me begging for a carrot I dissidend to get a quarter of a cucumber and feed it to the two pure white boys. As the Guinea pigs was munching on their cucumber I saw their eyes glimmer in the sun and felt their fur as soft as silk. I opened to door to the Honda and jumped into the car ready to pick up my best friend,as we drove to rolleston we saw all different colours and breeds of horse,for example palominos,greys,bay,gypsy vanner and much more. As we pulled up her drive I rung the door bell and waited,all of a sudden Harley and Oscar (dogs) sprinted at me as Jemima opened the door saying yay your here. She put on her sneakers and came out to the car and hopped in ready to stay with me at my nanas and grandads house. On the way there Jemima gave me a horse neaklace and a card with a suprise inside I opened the card and it was written in black pen... Happy birthday bestie you are the best love from your best friend Jemma. My reaction was aww and thank you so much I didn't expect that. As we switched the gear stick to park me and Jemima sprinted to the gate and closed it behind my mum and saw the five dogs eyes glimmer well begging to see Jemma for the first time my nana has three cream colour pugs but one of them is black on King Charles and one bichon amythist monty max Harry and Georgie is the names one female. My nana loves pugs so she has a collection of them. Jemma and I got knocked over by amythist the black pug Jemma and I piled our stuff in a corner in our room well Jemma my nana and I Made the beds.we took the dogs for a walk and before you know it,it's dinner time scrambled eggs for tea nanas favourite. That night Jemma and I went to bed at 11.00 and fell asleep about half an hour after. As Jemma and I raised from our beds the sunrise hit our eyes and pushed us down the stairs for morning tea we had this really yummy doenuts and took Harry and amythist for a walk next second Jemma's mum picked her up, I can't wait to see her again. The next day I woke up with all the dogs and the cat on my bed I sprinted downstairs and then grandad made me some poached eggs for breakfast. I did my teeth and then took the dogs for a long walk but I did not take gorgie for he is to old. Than the afternoon flew by and it was time to go home mum picked me up and my tutor for math appeared to help me.
