The correct answer is A. The principle of uniformitarianism

Explanation:

Both James Hutton and Sir Charles Lyell were important geologists during the 18th century as they focused on understanding the composition of Earth, the universe and the way this has changed over time. Besides this, in this field, they contributed to the principle of uniformitarianism that states general laws and principles that exist nowadays on Earth and Universe, also operated in the past. In the case of James Hutton, his work was based on observations related to the formation of Earth as well as geological arguments. Similarly, Sir Charles Lyell supported this principle based on the history of Earth; also, he formally explained this principle through his book Principles of Geology in 1830.

How are Ancient Greek architecture and modern architecture<br> similar?
GrogVix [38]
Greek architecture, one the earliest forms of architecture style. The Greek architects perfected and refined the use of columns, primarily in temples. There are three types of column styles based on the three main Greek Orders of architecture: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. These styles of column design and architecture were adapted by the Romans, and serve as the basis of everything known as Classical architecture today. The Greeks having the first true form of democracy which America would later adopt has a true influence on Americas Capital buildings. For example the White House and Capital Building have columns on the front, and Greek was known from their columns on there temples.
Parthenon has influenced modern architecture in many ways. First, many political buildings today are made from marble or a material that looks similar to marble to represent wealth. Next, political buildings and libraries sometimes have columns to support the roofs of the buildings. Lastly, the metopes and friezes of the buildings are usually heavily decorated just like in the ancient Parthenon


It is clear that Greek architecture has an influence on the design of today’s buildings although it is no longer present at the vanguard of modern architecture as modern architects are attempting to steer away from classical and renaissance design influence.
We may say that ancient Greek architecture has provided not only many of the staple features of modern western architecture, but it has also given the world truly magnificent buildings which have literally stood the test of time and continue to inspire admiration and awe. Many of these buildings - the Parthenon, the Temple of Athena, the volute of an Ionic capital - have become the instantly recognizable and iconic symbols of ancient Greece.
