ah, geology ..
I loooove this passage I just read:
(from James Hutton’s 1795 A Theory of the Earth with Proofs and Illustrations)
' The world which we inhabit is composed of the materials, not of the earth which was the immediate predecessor of the present, but of the earth which, in ascending from the present, we consider as the third, and which had preceded the land that was above the surface of the sea, while our present land was yet beneath the water of the ocean. '
