Charles Lyell, the eldest son of Charles Lyell, was born at Kinnordy, Forfar, the family estate, on Nov. 14, 1797. During his early childhood, the family moved to Lyndhurst, Hampshire, where he received his early education. He showed a keen interest in collecting moths, a hobby he pursued throughout his life. At age 15 Lyell read Robert Bakewell's Introduction to Geology (1813), which aroused his interest in geology. Entering Exeter College, Oxford, in 1816, he studied classics and attended geology lectures with William Buckland.

Extractions: John Gehl sends this bio of the Scottish geologist Sir Charles Lyell (1797-1875), who popularized the theories, methods, and principles on which the modern science of geology is based. Lyell's major contribution was demonstrating that physical, chemical, and biological forces operating over long periods of geological time produced all features of the Earth's surface. This was intended to contradict the prevailing theory that the Earth's properties are the result of a short period of catastrophic upheaval and flooding. Lyell's extensive investigations of rock formations and the strata of the earth's crust convinced him his data were better explained by James Hutton's uniformitarian theory of gradual and ongoing change. Hutton's views had been known for 40 years, but had little support until Lyell took it up as the guiding framework for his popular three-volume work, The Principles of Geology. The other major work of Lyell was his 1863 publication The Antiquity of Man , in which he applied Darwin's evolutionary views to the development of man, a position that Darwin himself had not yet proposed. Lyell was born at Kinnordy in eastern Scotland. The eldest of 10 children, Lyell attended a series of private schools, and at age 19 entered Oxford University, where he studied the classics, mathematics, and geology. In 1819 he earned a B.A. with honors and moved to London to study law (but found relief from his legal studies by taking geological excursions to examine formations in the Earth's crust and sedimentation in freshwater lakes). Admitted to the bar in 1825, he continued his geological investigations, with the intention of gathering evidence to support his conviction that the ordinary natural processes of today do not differ in kind or magnitude from those of the past and that the Earth must therefore be very ancient because these everyday processes work so slowly. Finally, in 1830 he was able to put his findings in order and write the first volume of

Extractions: GE 209 : Earthquakes Geology 209 "Earthquakes by Bruce A. Bolt - 4th Edition : Chapter 7: Earthquakes and Plate Tectonics" Chapter 7: Earthquakes and Plate Tectonics In the late 18th century, the educated world clung to the Neptunian theory of the earth proposed by Abraham Gottlob Werner. Known as the father of geology, James Hutton overturned the Neptunian orthodoxy and instead proposed his own Plutonian theory In the rocks of Scotland, Hutton found fingers of granite reaching well into sedimentary rocks, and saw this as evidence of subterranean fire and heat. He also found neatly deposited layers of sedimentary rocks overlaying rock layers that were almost vertical, as shown at right. The lower layers of rock, he concluded, must have been deposited eons before, then later upturned. In them, Hutton saw evidence of vast expanses of time in earth's history. (Charles Lyell was following in Hutton's footsteps when he wrote his own masterwork in 1830.) Hutton's theory was largely correct, and it was the basis for some exceptionally important theories in geology and biology that followed. What is less well known, however, is that his assertions about the age of the earth were not supported by strong empirical evidence at the time. In fact

Extractions: ONLINE TEXTBOOK GLOSSARY ... ABOUT CHAPTER 10: Introduction to the Lithosphere (c). Concept of Uniformitarianism Uniformitarianism is one of the most important unifying concepts in the geosciences. This concept developed in the late 1700s, suggests that catastrophic processes were not responsible for the landforms that existed on the Earth's surface. This idea was diametrically opposed to the ideas of that time period which were based on a biblical interpretation of the history of the Earth. Instead, the theory of uniformitarianism suggested that the landscape developed over long periods of time through a variety of slow geologic and geomorphic processes. The term uniformitarianism was first used in 1832 by William Whewell , a University of Cambridge scholar, to present an alternative explanation for the origin of the Earth. The prevailing view at that time was that the Earth was created through supernatural means and had been affected by a series of catastrophic events such as the biblical Flood. This theory is called

Extractions: Charles Darwin, 1809-1882 Charles Darwin, the discoverer of natural selection, was born at Shrewsbury. His grandfather was Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802, physician, radical, freethinker), his father Dr. Robert Waring Darwin, F.R.S. (1766-1848), and his mother was the daughter of Josiah Wedgewood (1730-1795). After five years at Shrewsbury grammar school, Darwin studied medicine at Edinburgh University (1825-27) and then, with a view to the Church, entered Christ's College, Cambridge (1828). Even before he went to Cambridge, the young Darwin took numerous natural history excursions and delivered his first scientific paper. It was at Cambridge that his biological studies began in earnest. He became acquainted with Professor Henslow who encouraged his interest in zoology and geology. In 1831 Darwin received his B.A. and shortly afterwards was recommended by Henslow as naturalist aboard the H. M. S. Beagle , then about to begin a scientific survey of South American waters. Darwin sailed on 27 December 1831 and did not return to England until 2 October 1836. He visited Tenerife, the Cape Verde Islands, Brazil, Montevideo, Tierra del Fuego, Buenos Aires, Valparaiso, Chile, the Galapagos, Tahiti, New Zealand, Tasmania and the Keeling Islands. It was during this lengthy voyage that Darwin obtained an intimate knowledge of the flora, fauna, and geology of these distinct areas. By 1846 he had published several works on the geological and zoological discoveries of his voyage works that placed him in the front rank of mid-19th century scientists.
