Hutton and Lyell studied the geological changes that shaped earth and recognized that the processes that shaped Earth in the past are the same processes that operate in the present. This influenced Darwin's theory of evolution because it shows, that things are constantly changing on earth (the enviorment) so why can't organisms?
organisms change over time
Hutton, Hutton is credited with being the founder of modern geology. Among his ideas: The Earth is continually being formed.
steno ideas for relative dating include superposition, original horizontality, and lateral continuity.

Darwin read "Principles of Geology" by Charles Lyell during his voyage on the Beagle. This book influenced Darwin's thinking on the gradual change of landscapes over time, which later contributed to his theory of evolution by natural selection.

Geology provided Darwin with evidence of gradual changes in Earth's landscape over vast time scales. This concept of gradual change and Earth's ancient history influenced Darwin's thinking about the gradual evolution of species through natural selection. Additionally, studying the distribution of fossils and geological formations helped Darwin develop his ideas about species diversification and adaptation to changing environments.
Charles Lyell's book "Principles of Geology" influenced Darwin by introducing him to the concept of gradual change over long periods of time, which aligned with his ideas of natural selection and evolution. Lyell's emphasis on the slow and steady processes of geological change provided Darwin with evidence and a framework to support his theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin recognized the importance of Lyell's theories in shaping the environment in which species evolved, helping him develop his own ideas on the mechanisms of evolution.
No, Darwin knew nothing about Mendel's ideas and work. His, Darwin's, heritability concept was absolutely wrong. There is a legend that Darwin had a copy of Mendel's work in his desk but could not read German. The veracity of this story is often challenged.

Geology is responsible for the greatest civilizations of history.
