What were the major geologic events of devonian period?
there was plate tectonic movement
What are two geologic events that occur as a result of the movement of plates?
Earthquake and Tsunanmi
How can catastrophic events be used to support Hutton's geologic principle of 'Uniformitarianism'?
First, let's define uniformitarianism. It is the postulation that the geologic principles that operated in the past are the same as those that are operating today. The opposite view is supposed to be catastrophism, the postulation that Earth's geologic features are a result of sudden and catastrophic processes that are not currently in action today. Catastrophic events, however, are perfectly compatible with uniformitarianism, as events such as flooding can occur due to normal processes such as headward erosion toward large bodies of water, and climatic caused ice melting during periods of glaciations. Large meteor impacts have been recorded in the past, and so have eruptions of supervolcanoes. These catastrophic events are going to occur again and are considered a part of, just not a highly predictable part of, the geologic cycle.
Which best describe the principle of uniformitarianism?
Similar events and features occur in old and new rock layers. :)
What were the major geologic events of the mississippian time period?
mississipian period?
Do many geologic processes and events happen because of erosion?
they are not do to erosion.
Do geologic processes only occur gradually?
No. Some processes such as landslides, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions are sudden events.
What were the major geologic events of devonian period?
there was plate tectonic movement
What do modern geologist believe shaped earth?
Slow geologic processes and catastrophic events
What are two geologic events that occur as a result of the movement of plates?
Earthquake and Tsunanmi
What do modern geologists believe shaped earth's surface?
Slow geologic processes and catastrophic events
What does 'The present is the key to the past' mean?
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 dating process that places geologic events in proper sequence is?
Relative dating is the process that places geologic events in the proper sequence.

The record of life forms and geologic events in Earth's history is called?
the record of life forms and geologic events in earth's history is actually called the "Geologic time scale" fine sir. good day
