Er- a department in northern France, part of the administrative region of Normandy. After the administrative reform of 1956, the region was divided into two: Upper Normandy and Lower Normandy, the latter including Eure along with the Seine-Maritime department. As a result of the territorial reform of 2015, the Normandy region was restored into five departments. The department is named after the river Eure, which flows through its territory before its confluence with the Seine. Serial number - 27. Administrative center - Evreux. Population - 595,043 people (43rd place among departments, 2013 data).

Ayr (Cape)

Cape Air- the northernmost cape of the Isle of Man, located in the northern part of Ramsey Bay, 10 kilometers north of the town of Ramsey. The headland is accessible from the A16 via Bride County.

It is the closest headland of the Isle of Man to the British mainland, being 26 kilometers from the Burrow Head peninsula in Scotland.

The name Ayr comes from the Norwegian word Eyrr, which translates as "gravel jar". Strong water flows close to the shore cause an uneven build-up of pebbles, which literally changes the relief and shape of the shore. Such changes occur twice a day.

The significant difference between high and low waters allows for excellent fishing directly from the shore. But what attracts most visitors is the carpet of gorse and heather surrounding the lighthouse, which gradually blends into the sand dunes that extend to the southwest, providing protection for rare wildflowers belonging to the Isle of Man National Nature Reserve.

ER: Yes, this is a very likely outcome in the medium to long term.

The purposes of chronology or historiography. Comparable concepts are epoch, age, period, sakulum, aeon (Greek aion) and Sanskrit yuga.

What is an era?

The word era has been in use since 1615 and is translated from the Latin "aera" to mean epochs by which time is measured. The use of the term in chronology began around the fifth century, during the time of the Visigoths in Spain, where it appears in the story of Isidore of Seville. Then in later texts. The Spanish era is calculated from the year 38. Like the era, this concept originally meant the starting point of the century.

Use in chronology

What is an era in chronology? It is considered the highest level for organizing time measurement. A calendar epoch indicates the length of a period of time, starting from a certain date, which often marks the beginning of a certain political state, dynasty, or reign. This could be the birth of a leader or another significant historical or mythological event.

Geological era

In the large-scale natural sciences there is a need for a different perspective of time, independent of human activity, and indeed covering a much longer period (mostly prehistoric), where the geological era refers to well-defined time periods. A further division of geological time is the eon. The Phanerozoic eon is divided into eras. There are currently three eras defined in the Phanerozoic. These are the Cenozoic, Mesozoic and Paleozoic eras. The older Proterozoic and Archean eons are also divided into their own epochs.

Cosmological and calendar era

For periods in the history of the universe, the term "epoch" is usually preferred to "era", although the terms are used interchangeably. The calendar era is calculated in years within certain dates. Often with religious significance. As for our era, the dominant calendar is considered to be from the birth of Jesus Christ. The Islamic calendar, which also has variations, counts the years from the Hegira, or migration of the Islamic prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina, which occurred in 622 BC.

During the period from 1872 to World War II, the Japanese used the imperial year system, counting from the period when the legendary Emperor Jimmu founded Japan. This was in 660 BC. Many Buddhist calendars are counted from the death of the Buddha, which, according to the most commonly used calculations, took place in 545-543. BC e. Other calendar eras of the past have been counted from political events. These are, for example, the Seleucid era and the Ancient Roman abbot, which originate from the founding date of the city.

Century and era

The word "era" also denotes the units used in another, more arbitrary system, where time is not represented as an endless continuum with one reference year, but each new block begins with a new reference, as if time were beginning again. Using different years is a rather impractical system and a difficult task for historians. When there is no single historical chronology, it often reflects the dominance of an absolute ruler in public life in many ancient cultures. Such traditions sometimes outlive the political power of the throne and may even be based on mythological events or rulers who may not even have existed.

What is a century and an era? Can these concepts also be used interchangeably? A century is not necessarily 100 years; in another sense, it can be several centuries, or even a couple of decades. For example, the reign of a ruler is considered a “golden age” in history, but this does not mean that he ruled for exactly 100 years. Therefore, the frame of the eyelid can vary in one direction or the other. In East Asia, the kingdom of each emperor can be divided into several periods of reign, each of which is considered a new era.

Era in historiography

Era can be used to refer to clearly defined periods of historiography, such as Roman, Victorian, and so on. More recent periods of current history include the Soviet era. The history of modern popular music also has its own periods, for example, the disco era.

Different points of view

What is an era from different points of view? Here are the most common ones:

1. A system of counting time by numbering years from some important event or given point in time (Christian era).
2. An event or date that marks the beginning of a new or important period in history (the Renaissance).
3. considered from the point of view of remarkable and characteristic events, persons (the era of progress).
4. From a geological point of view, an era describes the time frame from the creation of the Earth to our time. This is the largest chronological division (Paleozoic era).

What is the new era?

Different nations have their own calendar. The traditional beginning of our era is considered to be the birth of Jesus Christ; this period was once determined by the Pope. Thus, our era is also considered Christian, in honor of the founder of a new religious teaching - Christianity. Before this, chronology was carried out according to the calendar of Julius Caesar.

December 25 is considered an important holiday in many countries around the world. This is the day when the “son of God” was born. Since then, it has been customary to say: “Such and such a year before (AD) or after the birth of Christ” (AD). The new starting date was accepted by Tsar Peter I, and after December 31, 7208 from the biblical creation of the world, January 1, 1700 after the birth of Christ came. People still adhere to this calendar and call it the new, or our era.

Life on Earth began over 3.5 billion years ago, immediately after the completion of the formation of the earth's crust. Throughout time, the emergence and development of living organisms influenced the formation of relief and climate. Also, tectonic and climatic changes that occurred over many years influenced the development of life on Earth.

A table of the development of life on Earth can be compiled based on the chronology of events. The entire history of the Earth can be divided into certain stages. The largest of them are eras of life. They are divided into eras, eras into epochs, epochs into centuries.

Eras of life on Earth

The entire period of the existence of life on Earth can be divided into 2 periods: the Precambrian, or cryptozoic (primary period, 3.6 to 0.6 billion years), and the Phanerozoic.

The Cryptozoic includes the Archean (ancient life) and Proterozoic (primary life) eras.

The Phanerozoic includes the Paleozoic (ancient life), Mesozoic (middle life) and Cenozoic (new life) eras.

These 2 periods of life development are usually divided into smaller ones - eras. The boundaries between eras are global evolutionary events, extinctions. In turn, eras are divided into periods, and periods into epochs. The history of the development of life on Earth is directly related to changes in the earth’s crust and the planet’s climate.

Eras of development, countdown

The most significant events are usually identified in special time intervals - eras. Time is counted down in reverse order, from ancient life to modern life. There are 5 eras:

1. Archean.
2. Proterozoic.
3. Paleozoic.
4. Mesozoic.
5. Cenozoic.

Periods of development of life on Earth

The Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras include periods of development. These are smaller periods of time compared to eras.

Palaeozoic:

• Cambrian (Cambrian).
• Ordovician.
• Silurian (Silurian).
• Devonian (Devonian).
• Carboniferous (carbon).
• Perm (Perm).

Mesozoic era:

• Triassic (Triassic).
• Jurassic (Jurassic).
• Cretaceous (chalk).

Cenozoic era:

• Lower Tertiary (Paleogene).
• Upper Tertiary (Neogene).
• Quaternary, or Anthropocene (human development).

The first 2 periods are included in the Tertiary period lasting 59 million years.

Development of living organisms

The table of the development of life on Earth involves division not only into time periods, but also into certain stages of the formation of living organisms, possible climate changes (ice age, global warming).

• Archean era. The most significant changes in the evolution of living organisms are the appearance of blue-green algae - prokaryotes capable of reproduction and photosynthesis, and the emergence of multicellular organisms. The appearance of living protein substances (heterotrophs) capable of absorbing organic substances dissolved in water. Subsequently, the appearance of these living organisms made it possible to divide the world into plant and animal.

• Mesozoic era.

• Triassic. Distribution of plants (gymnosperms). Increase in the number of reptiles. The first mammals, bony fish.
• Jurassic period. The predominance of gymnosperms, the emergence of angiosperms. The appearance of the first bird, the flourishing of cephalopods.
• Cretaceous period. Distribution of angiosperms, decline of other plant species. Development of bony fishes, mammals and birds.

• Cenozoic era.
  • Lower Tertiary period (Paleogene). The rise of angiosperms. Development of insects and mammals, appearance of lemurs, later primates.
  • Upper Tertiary period (Neogene). The formation of modern plants. The appearance of human ancestors.
  • Quaternary period (Anthropocene). Formation of modern plants and animals. The appearance of man.

Development of inanimate conditions, climate change

The table of the development of life on Earth cannot be presented without data on changes in inanimate nature. The emergence and development of life on Earth, new species of plants and animals, all this is accompanied by changes in inanimate nature and climate.

Climate Change: Archean Era

The history of the development of life on Earth began through the stage of the predominance of land over water resources. The relief was poorly outlined. The atmosphere is dominated by carbon dioxide, the amount of oxygen is minimal. Shallow waters have low salinity.

The Archean era is characterized by volcanic eruptions, lightning, and black clouds. The rocks are rich in graphite.

Climatic changes in the Proterozoic era

The land is a rocky desert; all living organisms live in water. Oxygen accumulates in the atmosphere.

Climate Change: Paleozoic Era

During various periods of the Paleozoic era the following occurred:

• Cambrian period. The land is still deserted. The climate is hot.
• Ordovician period. The most significant changes are the flooding of almost all northern platforms.
• Silurian. Tectonic changes and conditions of inanimate nature are varied. Mountain formation occurs and the seas dominate the land. Areas of different climates, including areas of cooling, have been identified.
• Devonian. The climate is dry and continental. Formation of intermountain depressions.
• Carboniferous period. Subsidence of continents, wetlands. The climate is warm and humid, with a lot of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
• Permian period. Hot climate, volcanic activity, mountain building, drying out of swamps.

During the Paleozoic era, mountains were formed. Such changes in relief affected the world's oceans - sea basins were reduced, and a significant land area was formed.

The Paleozoic era marked the beginning of almost all major oil and coal deposits.

Climatic changes in the Mesozoic

The climate of different periods of the Mesozoic is characterized by the following features:

• Triassic. Volcanic activity, climate is sharply continental, warm.
• Jurassic period. Mild and warm climate. The seas dominate the land.
• Cretaceous period. Retreat of the seas from the land. The climate is warm, but at the end of the period global warming gives way to cooling.

In the Mesozoic era, previously formed mountain systems are destroyed, the plains go under water (Western Siberia). In the second half of the era, the Cordillera, the mountains of Eastern Siberia, Indochina, and partly Tibet were formed, and the mountains of Mesozoic folding were formed. The prevailing climate is hot and humid, promoting the formation of swamps and peat bogs.

Climate Change - Cenozoic Era

During the Cenozoic era, a general rise of the Earth's surface occurred. The climate has changed. Numerous glaciations of the earth's surfaces advancing from the north changed the appearance of the continents of the Northern Hemisphere. Thanks to such changes, the hilly plains were formed.

• Lower Tertiary period. Mild climate. Division into 3 climatic zones. Formation of continents.
• Upper Tertiary period. Dry climate. The emergence of steppes and savannas.
• Quaternary period. Multiple glaciations of the northern hemisphere. Cooling climate.

All changes during the development of life on Earth can be written down in the form of a table that will reflect the most significant stages in the formation and development of the modern world. Despite the already known research methods, even now scientists continue to study history, making new discoveries that allow modern society to learn how life developed on Earth before the advent of man.
