What is Geologic Change: Catastrophism vs. Uniformitarianism about?

Catastrophism held that geological changes were the result of sudden, violent events like floods and eruptions. Uniformitarianism argued that the same gradual processes seen today, like erosion and deposition, were responsible for changes over long periods of time. While rare catastrophic events may occur, uniformitarianism is now accepted as the basis for modern geology because it can be used to calculate rates of change and estimate geological timescales based on observable processes.
