The geologic processes (volcanic eruptions, erosion events, mountain building, ect.) that exists today and operated in the past!

uniformitarianism
The principle of uniformitarianism states that geologic processes that occur today are similar to those that have occurred in the past.
An earthquake would support the principle of catastrophism. The principle of catastrophism suggests that significant geological events, such as earthquakes, are caused by sudden, violent forces. This is in contrast to uniformitarianism, which argues that geological processes occur gradually over long periods of time.
Catastrophism was the theory that the Earth had largely been shaped by sudden, short-lived, violent events, possibly worldwide in scope. This was in contrast to uniformitarianism (sometimes described as gradualism), in which slow incremental changes, such as erosion, created all the Earth's geological features.

Yes the principle of uniformitarianism was pit forth in the 1700's but was not well know tell the 1800's
