Answer:

1)The geologic time scale was developed after scientists observed changes in the fossils going from oldest to youngest sedimentary rocks

2)The divisions of the geologic time scale are organized stratigraphically, with the oldest at the bottom and youngest at the top.

3)New varieties began to harness the power of the sun through a biochemical process known as photosynthesis—a move that would ultimately lead to simple plants and which opened the planet up to animal life.

Or

During the pre-Cambrian period, three eons of pre-Cambrian time - a Hadean Eon-, the Archean Eon, and the Project Eon - changed the earth's surface.

The earth was an immense field filled with lava at the beginning of the Precambrian era, asteroids strikes were always found.

Since the suddenly the world's climate starts changing and the ocean is born, bringing life to the Earth.

Oxygen and plumes are beginning to develop, and the planet has become an excellent location to dwell on microorganisms
