gradual processes. James Hutton, the father of geology described it best saying
"It is the little causes, long continued, which are considered as bringing about the greatest changes of the earth..."

ANSWER:

Both the points are of greatest interest as nature has its own rule whether it is controlled by gradual and unrelentless processes or intermittent large events with little action in between.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A normal rain continued for 2-6 days can cause havoc in the lives of people living upon the surface. This is the case of a gradual process.
  • However, a flood on a silent and slow moving stream is the example of a large event with little action.
  • They are all part of the nature. They are dangerous if they affect the lives of people.
