Major Geological Events

Water vapor from the atmosphere formed oceans.

May have created life with mineral-rich under-water volcanoes

Magma cooled down and formed crust cooled down, forming a solid crust.

Canadian Shield

There are rocks that date back about 4 billion years ago, and these rocks can still be found today.

Rain, ice, wind, and running water eroded much of the surface of the shield, though a lot of it is still there

Biggest landmass on Earth that was from the Precambrian Era

A landmass that has dated back to 4.2 billion years ago.

What happened in the Precambrian Era?

Oceans were created from the water vapour in the atmosphere.

Planet cooled down from the original molten state

Created a crust around the Earth

The Precambrian time was the earliest time period of the history of Earth.
