Uniformitarianism is the assumption that the same natural laws and processes that operate in the universe now, have always operated in the universe in the past.

Thus the processes and results of a volcano erupting now are assumed to be the same as or similar to volcanoes of the past. This allows us to interpret the geological structures deposited by fossil volcanoes and infer the processes that caused them.
