释义
Hutton, James (1726–97)

Geology and Earth Sciences
  • Scottish natural philosopher, prominent advocate of Plutonist and uniformitarian theories, who published The Theory of the Earth (1795). His ideas were based on the study of crystalline rocks, but he paid little attention to stratigraphy and organic remains. He recognized that unconformities implied that earth movements must have occurred. His work was popularized by Playfair. See plutonism; uniformitarianism.
