Name three ideas about geologic change

catastrophism

gradualism

uniformitarinism

Explanation:

There were several theories associated with evolution. In the theory, evolution was defined as the biological change process that has decedents originate from different ancestors.

Uniformitarinism is the prevailing theory of evolution. It focuses on the formation of the rocks and the earth as we know it today

Gradualism focuses on the gradual change over a long time.

Catastrophism focuses on the catastrophic formation of matter from a mass of matter.

in 1859, charles darwin set out his theory of evolution by natural selection as an explanation for adaptation and speciation. he defined natural selection as the "principle by which each slight variation [of a trait], if useful, is preserved".
