Uniformitarianism has been a key principle of geology‚ but naturalism’s modern geologists‚ while accepting that geology has occurred across deep time‚ no longer hold to a strict gradualism. Uniformitarianism was formulated by Scottish naturalists in the late 18th century: James Hutton – a geologist‚ started Uniformitariansim John Playfair – refined James Hutton’s work Charles Lyell – a British Lawyer and foremost Geologist‚ popularised Uniformitarianism through his book entitled “Principles of Geology”

humans are sharing the ancestor with the prehistoric fish. This theory sounds interesting to me since fishes don’t seem to have limbs‚ do they? It can be proved from the fossil record and the biology analysis. In the film‚ Your Inner Fish‚ the geologist showed the hand bone of human and the limb fossil of the prehistoric fish. After comparing‚ it is found that they are the same set of bones which just squashed to support different functions (Cook‚ Tate and Shubin‚ 2014). Besides‚ there are also

tectonic is defined as a solid rock mass that builds up the Earth’s surface. The plate tectonic theory is a theory that geologists use to help explain the surface processes and events. The word plate means large pieces of the earth that are always in motion‚ lithosphere plates. Tectonics means how the continents formed and move over time. This is the theory that most geologists accept as to what happened to our continents. It states that Earth is made up of two layers‚ the lithosphere‚ outer‚ and

geological time (also known as Deep time) in the late 18th century. Lyell‚ a geologist‚ worked using Hutton’s ideas as a foundation and had findings which supported the uniformitarian idea that the Earth’s features were shaped by the exact same geological processes which took place in the present‚ gradually across a long stretch of time. A few decades after the publication of Lyell’s “Principles of Geology”‚ most geologists endorsed Uniformitarianism (meaning “the present is the key to the past”) and
