Term that refers specifically to geologic mountain building?
Orogenesis refers to the geologic building of mountains. It is caused by an intense upward displacement of the Earth's crust.
What is tectonic activities?

How are chunks of time in the geologic timeline organized?
The Geologic Time Scale is broken up into several periods of time, during which there were great changes in the biodiversity on Earth. We can see distinct changes in the flora (plants) and fauna (animals of each time period. The age range of each period is determined by radiometric dating.
Which best describe the principle of uniformitarianism?
Similar events and features occur in old and new rock layers. :)
