Scientific theory following which the Earth has largely been shaped by sudden, short-lived, violent events, possibly worldwide in scope

This contrasts with uniformitarianism (sometimes called gradualism), according to which slow incremental changes, such as erosion, brought about all the Earth's geological features. Wikipedia
