Hi,
​
I guess in Scotland they don't have any volcanos or earthquakes, but they must have at least heard of them. I am uncertain how catastrophes were ever removed as a cause of geologic structures under Uniformitarianism.
​
We get very minor earthquake tremors in Scotland, but not very many of them. Earthquakes
​
Edinburgh Castle is also built on a 300 million year old extinct volcano! But we havent got any active ones.
​
Brian.

Hi Holmes,
​
Seriously though, did Hutton and Lyell know about this volcano? And if so how come gradualism was pushed so heavily by Lyell?
​
I have no idea about Hutton, Lyell or anything else to do with science.
​
Although I love reading the science topics here, I really have very little knowledge of any of the scientific theories that get discussed here. So rather than do a Bluffers Guide to YECism jive, I tend to leave the science to the scientists.
​
Sorry I couldn't help.
​
Brian.
