Uniformitarianism: a principle stating that earths processes occurring today are similar to those that occur in the past
This odd-sounding dictum is a summary of Scottish geologist Charles Lyell's idea of uniformatarianism, the idea that geologic processes that are currently occurring are the same processes that occurred in the past. In short, the historical and observable geologic events that are occurring are the 'key' to unlocking the history of the geologic events that have occurred and were recorded in the rock record.
The principle of uniformitarianism was developed by James Hutton in the late 18th century and popularized by Charles Lyell in the 19th century. It states that the same natural processes that operate now have always operated in the past, shaping the Earth's surface over long periods of time.
Charles Lyell, an English geologist, published Principles of Geology in the 1830s to expand James Hutton's theory of gradualism into the theory of uniformitarianism, which replaced catastrophism as the favored theory of geologic change.
The Richter scale was developed by Charles F. Richter and Beno Gutenberg in 1935 to quantify the energy released by an earthquake. It is still widely used today, although other scales like the Moment Magnitude Scale have been developed to provide more accurate measurements for larger earthquakes.
Charles Richter developed the Richter scale in collaboration with Beno Gutenberg. This scale is used to measure the magnitude of seismic events, such as earthquakes. It is logarithmic and allows for comparison of the energy released by different earthquakes.

The concept of gradualism. Also called uniformtarianism.
