According to uniformitarianism, which statement is true?

a. weathering, erosion, and uplift occur faster now than in the past.

b. weathering, erosion, and uplift occur slower now than in the past.

c. weathering, erosion, and uplift occur at the same rates now as they did in the past.

d. weathering, erosion, and uplift occur at the same rates.

C. Weathering, erosion, and uplift occur at the same rates now as they did in the past.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, one remembers the concept of uniformitarianism as everything that has been happening at the same rate through the whole geological time scale until the nowadays. In such a way, one concludes everything changes at the same rate all of the time.

In such manner, based on the uniformitarianism, the processes of weathering, erosion, and uplift occur in the present at the same rate as they have been occurring during the earlier years (past), nonetheless, this concept has not been widely adopted, as there are a lot of proofs unvalidating it.

Best regards.

b is the correct
