Catastrophism : . ... During the late 18th and early 19th century, a German mineralogist, Abraham Gottlob Werner, proposed that all of the Earth's rocks were formed by rapid chemical precipitation from a "world ocean," which he then summarily disposed of in catastrophic fashion. Though not directed toward the genesis of landforms in any coherent fashion, his catastrophic philosophy of changes of the Earth had two major consequences of geomorphic significance. ...
