17 août 1836 - Uniformitarianism
Description:
Lyell described an earth where catastrophic events never shaped it, however it was made purely by slow, imperceptible changes. While scientists today know of asteroid collisions and earthquakes, the geological system of erosion, sedimentation, and uplift described by him is used today when studying layers of rock.
