Response to the following:
In 1785, James Hutton, a Scottish farmer who would come to be known as the father of geology, presented work from nearby Siccar Point that suggested that the earth has a long history of slow acting geologic processes. This idea of uniformitarianism, often summed up as, "the present is the key to the past," was controversial at the time, and implied that we did not need to site catastrophic or supernatural events to explain the geologic history of the earth. In your own words, explain the concept of uniformitarianism. Use at least one example of something on earth that is the result of slow acting geologic processes. Explain why Hutton's proposal of slow geologic processes was controversial (i.e., what did it imply about the earth/age of earth)? Describe one other way that uniformitarianism was important for other disciplines besides geology.
