The general and historical concepts of geology proper: Uniformitarianism, Law of Superposition, Pangaea, Catastrophism, The Wilson Cycle, Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, Transform Fault, Continental Drift, and the three superseded historical theories of rock origin and mountain building, Neptunism, Plutonism and Geosyncline Theory. Belongs here: a foundational or historical concept about the structure, history or origin of the solid earth that is not specific to one of this atlas's own named specialty disciplines. Does not belong here: a concept whose live in-discipline relationship or clear subject matter points to a specialty such as Seismology, Stratigraphy or Geochronology, held under that heading instead even where it also touches general geology.
