1 janv. 1785 - James Hutton Presents Uniformitarianism In 1785, James Hutton presented uniformitarianism to the Royal Edinburgh Society. His principle stated that geological processes happen at a constant speed over time. This was a stark contrast to the 'catastrophic' belief at the time, which was that mountains and other landforms were created by God in a short period of time.
