What is this assertion bassed upon?
Last Two Hundred Years of Geology, I'd like you to meet ICANT. ICANT, Last Two Hundred Years of Geology. Odd you hadn't bumped into each other before now, but there you go.
If you click the "Forums" button at the top of the page you will be able to find threads that address this question.

There is always the option of reading a text book on the subject.

Bust a gut.
