Question

5 ordering 1 point show the correct order of the geologic eras from most recent (now) to first (oldest). most recent- now 1 cenozoic 2 precambrian 3 mesozoic 4 paleozoic first-oldest

Explanation:

To order the Geologic Eras from most recent to oldest, we use the knowledge of Earth's geological time scale:

1. The Cenozoic is the most recent era (includes the present, with mammals and humans dominating).
2. Before the Cenozoic was the Mesozoic (age of dinosaurs).
3. Before the Mesozoic was the Paleozoic (era of early complex life like trilobites, amphibians).
4. The Precambrian is the oldest, encompassing most of Earth's early history (before complex life, with simple organisms like bacteria and algae).

So the correct order from most recent (now) to oldest is: 1. Cenozoic, 2. Mesozoic, 3. Paleozoic, 4. Precambrian.

Answer:

1. Cenozoic
2. Mesozoic
3. Paleozoic
4. Precambrian
