The great underlying principle of modern Geomorphology is known as the principle of uniformitarianism. It was first enunciated by Hutton in 1785, beautifully restarted by Play fair in 1802 and popularized by Lyell in the numerous editions of his 'Principles of Geology'. Hutton taught that "the present is the key to the past", but he applied this principle some what too rigidly and argued that geologic processes operated throughout geologic time with the same intensity as now. We know now that this is not true. Glaciers were much more significant during the Pleistocene and during other periods of geologic time than now; world climates have not always been distributed as they now are, and, thus, regions that are now humid have been desert and areas now desert have been humid; periods of crustal instability seem to have separated periods of relative crustal stability, although there are some who doubt this and there were times when


vulcanism was more important than now. Numerous other examples could be cited to show that the intensity of various geologic processes has varied through geologic time but these is no reason to believe that streams did not cut valleys in the past as they do now; that the more numerous and more extensive valley glaciers of the pleistocene behaved any differently from existing glaciers; that the winds which deposited the Navajo sandstone during Jurassic times obeyed the different laws from those which control wind movements today, ground water opened up solutional passageways in limestones and other soluble rocks and formed surface depressions which are now called sinkholes during the permian and Pennsylvanian periods as it does today in many parts of the world. Without the principle of Uniformitarianism there could hardly be a science of Geomorphology that was more than pure description.
