In his famous book Principles of Geology, Being an Attempt to Explain the Former Changes of the Earth's Surface, Charles Lyell s

tated that Earth's geological features were formed by the same currently observable processes taking place. Charles Darwin was greatly influenced by Lyell's work and proposed that the current diversity of life can also be explained by mechanisms that are in operation today, acting over very long periods of time. Why was this a critical understanding for both scientists?A. They both understood that past processes were different and that only currently observable processes could be tested.
B. They both understood that geological processes and biological processes were different from one another, but were observable.
C. They both understood that although past processes could not be scientifically tested, current processes in both geology and biology could be tested.
D. They both understood that if currently observable processes acted in the same manner in the distant past, those processes could then be scientifically tested

Rudiy27
Tectonic plates is a theory that the lithosphere is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle. Oceanic and continental plates come together, spread apart, and interact at boundaries all over the planet.
Tectonic plates float on top of the molten rock and moving around the planet. The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or tectonic shift.
