Manual of Elementary Geology Report
Introduction
Uniformitarianism has been associated with Sir Charles Lyell. He has been a well
known British geologist and a lawyer who has made great contributions in the
field of geology. The theory of evolution has been added to his account of the
contributions as he has been the one reviewing the work by Lamarck and
Darwin.
Discussion
Charles Lyell was born in Scotland in the year of 1797. His father was a botanist
and a lawyer but he had lesser repute. Thereby this makes the fact clear that
Charles Lyell had gained interest in the nature and its surroundings since he had
been a boy by learning all about the nature from his father. “Introduction to
Geology” by Robert Bakewell played its role in increasing an interest in geology
of Charles (Weber 10).
House of birth of Charles Lyell was located in Central Lowlands in the valley of
Highland Boundary Fault and this is a distinguished area in Scottish geology.
Important natural views that were visible from his house were the farmlands and
the Grampian Mountains in the High lands and Bartlet Lodge in England being of
geological importance inspired Charles (Rudwick 25).
Charles was a lawyer and he worked for Lincoln’s Inn in the year of 1820. He
constantly used to explore rural England in order to observe the geographies of
the place. Geology was his full time profession since he joined in the
geographical society in 1823. His main interests were the volcanic changes, and
the geological dynamics.
