(37) Read the passage given below and answer the following:
The broadest division of Geologic time is the Eon. There are two Eons, the Pre-Phanerozoic or Precambrian and Phanerozoic. The Precambrian stretches from the formation of the Earth 4.5 billion years ago until the start of the Phanerozoic Eon, about 560 million years ago. There are many fossils in Pre-Phanerozoic rocks, but they are almost all microscopic. Phanerozoic means “visible life.” The rocks of the Phanerozoic Eon, which covers about the last 600 million years (M.a) of Earth history, are characterized by abundant visible fossils.
