Rock strata reveal changes. Some strata in a particular region might contain shallow sea organisms, overlain by strata containing deep sea organisms, and these in turned are overlaid by strata that are clearly aeolian (wind) deposits.
Varying fossil compositions in overlaying sedimentary strata also indicate changes over vast stretches of time. In the John Day Fossil beds in Oregon, we can trace climate changes over millions of years.
I'm not really certain what is meant by "geologic evolution." Evolution typically refers to biological evolution, although astronomers use the word "evolution" to describe the life cycle of stars. I don't recall "evolution" being used to describe geologic processes in any geology course I took.

How does scientific evidence support the theory of geologic evolution?
I am a geologist and I know of no theory of "geologic evolution". "Evolution" as defined by Darwin describes the origin of species based on the survival of the fittest. This certainly can not be applied to geological processes, although life is integral to geology.
Abundant fossil evidence did not appear in the geologic record until about?
Geologic records evidence of abundant fossil is 540 Million Years ago during the Paleozoic Era.
What pieces of evidence Alfred wegener used to support his theory?
The pieces of evidence Alfred Wegener used to support his theory about continental drift were; Puzzle Fit, Fossil evidence from animals that were once on the same continent, geologic evidence like mountain chains that were connected and now split apart, and ice sheets. Thank you for reading this article and I hoped it answered your question!
What evidence indicates that oceans formed early in Earth's geologic history?
Radioactive studies and lava flows offer evidence that there has been abundant water throughout Earth's geologic history.
When did abundant fossil evidence appear in the geologic record?
540 Million years ago

How does fossil evidence from the ancestors of whales support evolution?
hard core
What kind of evidence of evolution best support all the others?
Molecular genetics
How does observed evolutionary change support the scientific theory of evolution?
The theory predicts that evolution will happen and in certain ways. The observed evolution makes this prediction correct. It also defines evolution as happening, and as such is perfect evidence in support of it.
What would be the best evidence to support a theory that rock layers from different areas are the same age?
geologic colums
Why are the ideas about evolution called theories?
Because although there is evidence to support the claims, it isn't possible to prove evolution indefinately.
What are the types of evidence that support evolution?
\that the animals can be found all around the world fossils
How does Josiah Strong show that he supports the theory of evolution?
There is strong support for the theory of evolution due to fossils that have been found by archeologists. The fossil records show evidence of evolution over billions of years.
Do you believe that this evidence gives support to the theory of evolution?
I do not so much " believe it " as I an convinced by the myriad lines of converging evidences that support the theory of evolution by natural selection. talkorigins.org
What kind of evidence for evolution best support's all the others?
Molecular genetics
Did evolution occur in the permian period?
Yes. Evolution ocurred in all geologic periods.
What evidence support the theoryb of evolition?
Evolution of humans and bacteria plus some animals eg)primates.
