 | | Cataclysmic Geology is the study of the unusual and rare geologic events that have profound effects on the planet and often happen very rapidly or instantaneously. |
 | | Most geological processes follow James Hutton's theory of uniformity of causes, which has historically led to skepticism about cataclysmic events. |
 | | Recent research has shown that while most processes are uniform, time has been punctuated by very rapid, very destructive events. |
