During the 19th century, catastrophism faced challenges from the emerging theory of uniformitarianism, advocated by James Hutton and Charles Lyell. Uniformitarianism suggested that Earth's geological features were shaped over millions of years by slow, ongoing processes like erosion and sedimentation. This...

Definition of the term "catastrophism," is presented. The geological theory of catastrophism, developed by the Swiss zoologist George Cuvier and English geologist William Whewell, induced Earth history as a succession of worlds, all separated by periods when sudden catastrophic and supernatural events ...
