No vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end.” Who has given this concept from the following?

Correct option is B

The quote “No vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end” is attributed to James Hutton, often referred to as the "Father of Modern Geology." Hutton introduced the concept of uniformitarianism, which suggests that the Earth's features were shaped by continuous and uniform processes over geological time, rather than by catastrophic events. This idea laid the foundation for modern geological thought and emphasized the immense age of the Earth.
Information Booster:
1. James Hutton proposed that geological processes observed in the present (like erosion and sedimentation) have operated similarly in the past.
2. He emphasized the cyclic nature of geological processes.
3. His work challenged earlier views that Earth’s features were shaped by sudden, short-lived catastrophic events.
4. Uniformitarianism was later popularized by Charles Lyell.
5. This concept significantly influenced theories about Earth's history and the development of life.
Additional Knowledge:
· W. M. Davis: Known for his geomorphic cycle theory, explaining landform evolution.
· Alexander Von Humboldt: A pioneer in physical geography and biogeography, famous for his holistic scientific observations.
· Bernhardus Varenius: Made significant contributions to systematic geography but unrelated to uniformitarianism.
