A)the first abundant shelly organisms appear in the fossil record

D)the dinosaurs appeared and came to dominate large-scale terrestrial life

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the late Archean Eon, stable continental interiors known as cratons started forming. This was a significant geological event that helped shape the Earth's surface and set the stage for the evolution of life.

The other answer options are incorrect because: 
A) The first abundant shelly organisms appeared much later, in the Cambrian Period of the Phanerozoic Eon. 
B) While the Earth's interior was likely very hot during the Archean Eon, it had already cooled enough to form a solid outer crust that was not being remelted extensively. 
D) Dinosaurs did not appear until the middle of the Mesozoic Era, long after the Archean Eon had ended.
