Q. Is Lyell the father of geology?
Charles Lyell – “the father of geology” – as a forerunner of modern ecology. – Oikos 94: 385-391. In 1830, Charles Lyell published the first volume of his influential book, “The principles of geology”.
Q. Was Lyell a creationist?
Lyell’s geological interests ranged from volcanoes and geological dynamics through stratigraphy, palaeontology, and glaciology to topics that would now be classified as prehistoric archaeology and paleoanthropology. He is best known, however, for his role in elaborating the doctrine of uniformitarianism.
Q. What is Hutton’s theory?
Hutton proposed that the Earth constantly cycled through disrepair and renewal. Exposed rocks and soil were eroded, and formed new sediments that were buried and turned into rock by heat and pressure. That rock eventually uplifted and eroded again, a cycle that continued uninterrupted.
Q. Why was James Hutton’s theory rejected?
Hutton’s ideas were diametrically opposed to much of this contemporary theory. He asserted that many rocks had indeed been formed by sedimentary processes—i.e., that rock particles had been washed off the land into the oceans, had accumulated in beds there, and had solidified into rocks.
