Answer:

Diastrophism refers to deformation of the Earth's crust. Diastrophic movements are gradual and might stretch for thousands of years. ... Diastrophic movements are further classified into epeirogenic movements (continent forming ― subsidence, upliftment) and orogenic movements (mountain building ― folding, faulting).

Catastrophism is the theory that the Earth has largely been shaped by sudden, short-lived, violent events, possibly worldwide in scope. This is in contrast to uniformitarianism (sometimes described as gradualism), in which slow incremental changes, such as erosion, created all the Earth's geological features.
