That is called "Gradualism" (the alternate being "Punctuated Equilibrium").

What theory has been used to explain the pattern of rapid evolution that often occurs after a mass extinction event?
The theory of rapid evolution rather than over a very long time.
How does the theory of evolution explain variety within species?
The General Theory of Evolution posits that change occurs not only 'within' a species, but also 'across' species. In this way, change is actually unlimited in the sense that, given the right circumstances and given the right environmental pressures, any form of biological life could eventually be pushed from one species to another. A lizard could be pushed into the form of a bird; a whale could be pushed into the form of a wolf. So, as we take a look at the General Theory of Evolution (AKA Macroevolution)
The theory that evolution occurs slowly but steadily is called?
Darwin's classic theory of evolution assumed that evolution is a slow, contunuous process, by which new species evolve and emerge. This is referred to at times as "organic evolution" and the "synthetic theory of evolution", or just the Darwinian theory of evolution. A newer theory, proposed originally by Niles Eldridge and Stephen Jay Gould is known as "punctuated equilibria", a model in which the evloution of new species occurs only periodically, in relatively rapid spurts. See "Time Frames the Rethinking of Darwinian Evolution and the Theory of Punctuated Equilibraia, Simon & Schuster, 1985"AnswerThe slow, constant process has also been called "gradualism."
What statement is best supported by the theory of evolution?
Simple statement I often use to illustrate the definition of the theory of evolution by natural selection proceeded by the definition of evolution itself. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Natural selection is the nonrandom survival and reproductive success of randomly varying replicating organisms.
How does the punctuated equilibrium model of evolution states that evolution occurs rapidly?
Gradualism is the theory that evolution occurs slowly and consistently along periods of time. On the other hand, punctuated equilibrium is the theory that evolution does not occurs for long periods of time and then suddenly evolves rapidly in a small short period of time.
What is the theory that evolution occurs during short period of rapid change?
Equilibria
How the gradualism model of evolution differs from the punctuated equilibrium model of evolution?
The gradualism model of evolution states that change occurs gradually over time. On the other hand, the punctuated equilibrium model states that change occurs suddenly or rapidly.
The theory that evolution occurs during short periods of rapid change is puntuated?
Punctuated equilibrium.
What three items do evolutionists disagree about?
One is that evolution occurs gradually and consistently.The other is that evolution occurs as a result of competition for 'niches'
What modern synthesis theory states that evolution occurs through changes in the gene pool of?
population
What theory that evolution occurs slowly but steadily?
Gradualism is the concept but I would not give it the ranking of scientific theory. It is more a subset of the theory of evolution by natural selection and was first formulated into that theory by Darwin.
What theory has been used to explain the pattern of rapid evolution that often occurs after a mass extinction event?
The theory of rapid evolution rather than over a very long time.
The gradual change in groups of organisms that occurs across many generations?
is called evolution. There are various theory's as to how this happened including Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, Lamarck's acquired characteristics as well as religious and creationist ideas.
Theory that evolutionary change occurs slowly?
Gradualism.
What is the name of the hypothesis that evolution occurs at an irregular rate through geologic time?
That theory is called punctuated equilibrium.
How does the theory of evolution explain variety within species?
The General Theory of Evolution posits that change occurs not only 'within' a species, but also 'across' species. In this way, change is actually unlimited in the sense that, given the right circumstances and given the right environmental pressures, any form of biological life could eventually be pushed from one species to another. A lizard could be pushed into the form of a bird; a whale could be pushed into the form of a wolf. So, as we take a look at the General Theory of Evolution (AKA Macroevolution)
