Question

which of the following is an example of the principle of uniformitarianism? catastrophic events, such as major landslides, earthquakes, and volcanic episodes, are the primary drivers of geomorphological change. it is not possible to know how earth processes have changed over time; therefore, it is not possible to deduce how earth's ancient landforms evolved. the earth's geological history is mostly uniform and homogenous, existing now as it mostly always has with the exception of minor recent changes. prior to written history, knowledge of earth history is largely unknowable. the processes by which streams carve valleys at present are the same as those that carved valleys 500 million years ago.
