Detailed explanation-1: -Lyell argued that the formation of Earth’s crust took place through countless small changes occurring over vast periods of time, all according to known natural laws. His “uniformitarian” proposal was that the forces molding the planet today have operated continuously throughout its history.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lyell was fundamental in establishing the popularity and credibility of geology as a science in the nineteenth century.
