Question 1 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC
Scientists built the geologic time scale by comparing rock layers and the fossils found in them, so A is true. Precambrian time is the oldest span and covers about 88 percent of Earth’s history, making D true. The first birds appeared in the Mesozoic Era, and humans appeared in the Cenozoic Era, so E and G are true. The fossil record includes life on land as well as in water, and the time scale uses eons, eras, periods, and smaller units—not centuries—so B, C, and F are false.
