Question #5779c
1 Answer
Catastrophism in the impact - showing the violent change in a short time. But, the uniformitarianism claim is that they are no different today than they were eons ago.
Explanation:
An earthquake by itself could be used to support either theory. The use of plate tectonics (which create earthquakes) is a support of uniformitarianism.
Catastrophism is the theory that Earth's features are mostly accounted for by violent, large-scale events that occurred in a relatively short amount of time. An impressive mountain range was probably formed by worldwide earthquakes and eruptions.
Uniformitarianism is the theory that Earth's features are mostly accounted for by gradual, small-scale processes that occurred over long periods of time.
