This period was later divided into Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic, and these further subdivided into 12 small zones. Paleozoic featured the rise of the rising of fish, amphibians, and reptiles.

The quaternary period marks the last period of phanerozoic eon with a span of 2.58 years only it's divided into Pleistocene and the Holocene.

Relationship with earthquakes, fault, and energy is simple as the seismic energy that moves from the earth crust in the form of waves of P, S, and L shaped format creates tremors and large shaking and brake opening of the ground by fissure types of eruptions leads to faults that are due to the folding and molding the earth crust in mantel.
