That would be a form of gradualism. Call it "geological gradualism".
Slow evolution refers to a gradual process of change in species over long periods of time through natural selection and genetic variation. It often involves small, incremental changes in traits that accumulate over generations, leading to the diversification of species and the development of different characteristics. This slow pace of evolution contrasts with rapid evolutionary changes that can occur in response to sudden environmental shifts or selective pressures.
Among other meanings, yes. See for example this site:
The theory of gradualism suggests that change occurs slowly and steadily over time.
That would be a form of gradualism. Call it "geological gradualism".
Gradualism and catastrophism are key terms in geology. Gradualism is the view that profound changes occurred as the cumulative product of slow but continuous processes, while catastrophism is the idea that the Earth underwent abrupt and violent events.
