| 128417075 | Catastraphion | Boundaries between fossil strata correspond to catastrophic events | 3 | |
| 128417076 | James Hutton | Geological processes are very slow and continuous | 4 | |
| 128417077 | Charles Lyell | Uniformitarianism - mechanisms of change are constant over time | 5 | |
| 128417078 | Jean Lamarck | Evolution is driven toward complexity a. use and disuse b. inheritance of acquired traits | 6 | |
| 128417079 | Charles Darwin | Evolution is driven by natural selection | 7 | |
| 128419909 | Evolution | Descent with modification - Earth's many species are descendants of ancestral species that were different from the present-day species | 8 | |
| 128419910 | Members of a population often vary greatly in their traits Traits are passed from parents to offspring All species are capable of producing more offspring than their environment can support Because of limited natural resources, many of these offspring do not survive | Observations of Natural Selection | 9 | |
| 128419911 | Individuals whose inherited traits given them higher probability of surviving and reproducing in a given environment tend to leave more offspring than do other individuals This unequal ability to survive and reproduce will lead to the accumulation of favorable traits in the population over generations | Inferences of Natural Selection | 10 | |

| 128423341 | Divergent Evolution | Two or more species originate from a common ancestor | 12 | |
| 128423342 | Convergent Evolution | Two unrelated species share similar traits due to similar ecological conditions or lifestyles | 13 | |
| 128423343 | Parallel Evolution | Two related species undergo similar evolutionary changes after their divergences from a common ancestor | 14 | |
| 128423344 | Co-evolution | Tit-for-tat evolution of one species inn response to new adaptations that appear in another species Occurs between predator and prey, symbiotic species | 15 |
