Why do more ultraviolet waves reach earth today?
More ultraviolet waves reach earth today because the atmosphere is changing and they do not get filtered out.
According to the principle of 'blank' geologic processes operate today as they did in Earth's past?
"Blank" would be uniformitarianism.
What is the idea developed by Charles Lyell stating that the geologic processes that shape earth in the past continue to operate today?
Uniformitarianism: a principle stating that earths processes occurring today are similar to those that occur in the past
Why does earth have more nitrogen than oxygen in its atmosphere?
The atmosphere of Earth today is not the atmosphere that the planet started out with, the atmosphere has been produced by the biosphere of the planet. Originally the atmosphere was made of hydrocarbons, Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen. Living things (using photosynthesis) have changed this by using the Carbon Dioxide to make sugars and releasing Oxygen as a waste product. The free Oxygen then got into chemical processes with minerals in the Oceans to make Iron ores and slowly the Ocean and atmosphere changed to include free Oxygen. Nitrogen is very inert and while it is slightly involved in life processes its proportion was unchanged by life. Therefore the composition of the atmosphere is a changing dynamic balance resulting from the nitrogen, and carbon cycles of the planet.
The geological processes that shape Earth's features today?
Are basically the same as they were in the geologic past. There's the correct answer, you cheater c: lol jk
What is the Principle of Uniform Processes?
The Principle of Uniform Processes states that the same processes acting on the earth today have acted on the earth throughout its history. It states that laws of physics and chemistry have not changed through time. Therefore, the processes that work today on the earth has always been acting, although not necessarily at the same rates that they do now.
What principle states that geologic processes that changes earth today also changed earth in the past?
Uniformitarianism... or however u spell it.hope this helped :)

What word do we apply to the concept that the processes that are at work on earth today are the same processes that shaped the early history of earth?
Geology
What word do you apply to the concept that the processes that are at work on earth today are the same processes that shaped the early history of earth?
Uniformitarianism.
What effect did being hit by an asteroid have on the Earth?
well it changed the earth to the earth we have today
What is this states that earth is always changing and the same force of change at work today were at work in the past?
States the Earth is always changing, and the same forces of change at work today were at work in the past
Earth changing today as it did in the past?
If you are asking 'Is Earth changing today as it did in the past' then it's a yes as Europe and North America are getting further and further away. But you wouldn't see the result for you generation
An assumption that the earth processes occurring today have always occurred is the?
Theory of uniformitarianism.
Why do more ultraviolet waves reach earth today?
More ultraviolet waves reach earth today because the atmosphere is changing and they do not get filtered out.
What is the process that Earth's processes occurring today are similar to those that occured in the past?
Uniformitarianism: a principle stating that earths processes occurring today are similar to those that occur in the past
