Wikipedia
Hadean
The Hadean ( hay-DEE-ən, HAY-dee-ən) is a geologic eon of Earth history preceding the Archean. On Earth, the Hadean began with the planet's formation about 4.54 billion years ago (although the start of the Hadean is defined as the age of the oldest solid material in the Solar System, found in some meteorites, about 4.567 billion years old). The Hadean ended, as defined by the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), 4 billion years ago.Hadean rocks are very rare, largely consisting of zircons from one locality in Western Australia. Hadean geophysical models remain controversial among geologists: it appears that plate tectonics and the growth of continents may have started in the Hadean. Earth in the early Hadean had a very thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, but eventually oceans of liquid water formed.

hadean
The Hadean is the geologic eon that began about 4.6 billion years ago with the formation of the Earth and ended about 4 billion years ago. The name "Hadean" comes from Hades, the ancient Greek god of the underworld, in reference to the conditions on Earth during this time. This period was characterized by the planet's surface being in a molten state and covered by a magma ocean. There is no recorded life from this eon. The Hadean is the earliest division of time in the geological time scale.

Hadean
The Hadean is the first geologic eon of Earth and lies before the Archean. It began with the formation of the Earth about 4600 million years ago and ended as defined by the ICS 4,000 million years ago. The name "Hadean" derives from Hades, the Greek name for the god of the underworld. The name is in reference to the "hellish" conditions on Earth at the time: the planet had just formed and was still very hot due to high volcanism, a partially molten surface and frequent collisions with other Solar System bodies. The geologist Preston Cloud coined the term in 1972, originally to label the period before the earliest-known rocks on Earth. W. Brian Harland later coined an almost synonymous term: the "Priscoan period". Other, older texts simply refer to the eon as the Pre-Archean.
