Can we call the Precambrian eons (i.e. Archaic and Proterozoic) eras?
Energy & ResourcesThe Precambrian: Eons, Eras, and a Whole Lotta Time! Ever wonder how scientists keep track of Earth’s mind-boggling 4.54 billion-year history? Well, they use something called the geological timescale. Think of it as a giant calendar, but instead of days and weeks, it’s broken down into eons, eras, periods, and so on. These divisions help
Severe storm predictions: What meteorological considerations go into hazard assessments?
Safety & HazardsDecoding Danger: How Meteorologists Predict Severe Storms Ever wonder how weather forecasters manage to predict those crazy, destructive storms that seem to pop up out of nowhere? It’s not magic, that’s for sure. It’s a complex blend of science, technology, and a whole lot of experience. Predicting severe storms is a high-stakes game. Get it
