Best Answer

The main principle linked to the palaeoenvironment of the Earth (ie the Earths past) is called the principle of uniformitarianism:

"The present is the key to the past"

This means that all processes which occur on Earth at the present day, ie erosion, transportation, deposition, weathering, metamorphism etc. also occured at any point in the Earth's history in exactly the same way.

Hope this helps :)
