How can catastrophic events be used to support Hutton's geologic principle of 'Uniformitarianism'?
First, let's define uniformitarianism. It is the postulation that the geologic principles that operated in the past are the same as those that are operating today. The opposite view is supposed to be catastrophism, the postulation that Earth's geologic features are a result of sudden and catastrophic processes that are not currently in action today. Catastrophic events, however, are perfectly compatible with uniformitarianism, as events such as flooding can occur due to normal processes such as headward erosion toward large bodies of water, and climatic caused ice melting during periods of glaciations. Large meteor impacts have been recorded in the past, and so have eruptions of supervolcanoes. These catastrophic events are going to occur again and are considered a part of, just not a highly predictable part of, the geologic cycle.
What is the Application of sequence stratigraphy?
Depositional environments, geologic ages, and sometimes catastrophic event ages can be determined by a careful examination of the individual strata in sedimentary rock.
What is catastrophic geologic change?
A violent, usually destructive natural occoruance.Example:Meteor StrikeLarge Volcanic Erouption(Something in nature that happens and causes a lot of damage.)
Diffrenciate geologic time with geologic column?
Geologic column is an ordered arrangement of rock layers that is based on the relative age of the rocks. Geologic time is the time IN the geologic column.
What is cataclysmic?
It's another word for catastrophic. It's another word for catastrophic. It's another word for catastrophic.
How are geologic units of similar ages shown on a geologic map?
A geologic map shows geologic units of various rock types and ages. Geologic units of similar ages are shown on a geologic map using the same color and symbol.
What is another word for disasterous?
Catastrophic or calamitous
What do the relative geologic time and absolute geologic time combine to form?
The geologic time scale.
