Gradualism, from Latin gradus (âstepâ), is a hypothesis, a theory or a tenet assuming that change comes about gradually or that variation is gradual in nature.Similar concepts are: uniformitarianism, incrementalism and reformism.n the natural sciences, gradualism is the theory which holds that profound change is the cumulative product of slow but continuous processes, often contrasted with catastrophism.
Catastrophism is the theory that the Earth has been affected in the past by sudden, short-lived, violent events, possibly worldwide in scope. The dominant paradigm of modern geology is uniformitarianism (sometimes described as gradualism), in which slow incremental changes, such as erosion, create the Earth's appearance.
