The correct Answer is:
To arrange the periods of the Paleozoic era in ascending order on the geological time scale, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Periods of the Paleozoic Era**: The periods we need to arrange are: - Cambrian - Ordovician - Silurian - Devonian - Carboniferous - Permian 2. **Determine the Origin Dates of Each Period**: - Cambrian: approximately 570 million years ago - Ordovician: approximately 500 million years ago - Silurian: approximately 440 million years ago - Devonian: approximately 400 million years ago - Carboniferous: approximately 350 million years ago - Permian: approximately 280 million years ago 3. **Arrange the Periods in Ascending Order**: Based on the origin dates, we can arrange the periods from the oldest to the most recent: - Cambrian (570 million years ago) - Ordovician (500 million years ago) - Silurian (440 million years ago) - Devonian (400 million years ago) - Carboniferous (350 million years ago) - Permian (280 million years ago) 4. **Final Arrangement**: The correct ascending order of the periods of the Paleozoic era is: - Cambrian - Ordovician - Silurian - Devonian - Carboniferous - Permian ### Conclusion: Thus, the correct arrangement of the periods of the Paleozoic era in ascending order is: **Cambrian → Ordovician → Silurian → Devonian → Carboniferous → Permian.**
