 27  II,  1 |           for they want earth and sea to have foundations and
 28  II,  1 |           the remainder forms the sea. So the sea is being dried

 45  II,  2 |        other elements, except the sea. River water is not a unity,
 46  II,  2 |      which made people regard the sea as the origin and source

 62  II,  3 |          same must be true of the sea. Any one who thinks like

 65  II,  3 |      inquirers. Whatever made the sea remain at first, whether
 66  II,  3 |          they must admit that the sea persists for ever or as
 67  II,  3 |     carried up beforehand. So the sea will never dry up: for before
 68  II,  3 |    recedes. This notion about the sea is derived from the fact
 69  II,  3 |     return to the saltness of the sea: those who create the sea
 70  II,  3 |         sea: those who create the sea once for all, or indeed
 71  II,  3 |         no difference whether the sea is the residue of all the
 72  II,  3 |           the total volume of the sea is the same once the water
 73  II,  3 |      admixture of earth makes the sea salt (for they say that
 74  II,  3 |           rivers and so makes the sea salt by its admixture),
 75  II,  3 |        each river singly? For the sea, differing in nothing from
 76  II,  3 |          explained by calling the sea "the sweat of the earth",
 77  II,  3 |           water is what makes the sea salt.~Now in the body stuff
 78  II,  3 |         what was left over is the sea is more reasonable; but
 79  II,  3 |           for the saltness of the sea seem unsuccessful let us
 80  II,  3 |           discuss first. Does the sea always remain numerically
 81  II,  3 |         to try to explain why the sea is salt. There are many
 82  II,  3 |         burnt earth that made the sea salt. To say that it was
 83  II,  3 |           to the question how the sea comes to be salt.~It also
 84  II,  3 |   quickest.~This, too, is why the sea is warm. Everything that
 85  II,  3 |         is continually making the sea more salt, but some part
 86  II,  3 |        and so the saltness of the sea remains constant on the
 87  II,  3 |      present let us say this. The sea is there and some of it
 88  II,  3 |         This process prevents the sea, as it does rivers, from
 89  II,  3 |       causes (this must happen to sea and rivers alike). On the
 90  II,  3 |           of the earth nor of the sea remain constant but only
 91  II,  3 |       true of the earth as of the sea: some of it is carried up
 92  II,  3 |          of wax and put it in the sea, fastening its mouth in
 93  II,  3 |      quite fit to navigate in the sea. This circumstance has before
 94  II,  3 |     earthy matter is there in the sea. The same thing is done
 95  II,  3 |         account of waters and the sea, why they persist, how they

100  II,  8 |  earthquakes take place where the sea is full of currents or the
101  II,  8 |         our description-where the sea is supposed to flow in channels
102  II,  8 |      earth: but the onrush of the sea in a great mass thrusts
103  II,  8 |        issue. This is because the sea is being pushed on from
104  II,  8 |           the sea-shore. When the sea breaks in great waves the
105  II,  8 |         and crooked, but when the sea is calm they are slight
106  II,  8 |       secretion is small). As the sea is to the shore so the wind
107  II,  8 |        succeed in driving off the sea which another wind is bringing
108  II,  8 |         way the whole body of the sea, driven on by the other
109  II,  8 |           the more violent as the sea allowed no exit to the wind
110  II,  8 |      Islands in the middle of the sea are less exposed to earthquakes
111  II,  8 |          First, the volume of the sea cools the evaporations and
112  II,  8 |        shocks are produced in the sea by the action of the winds.

114  II,  8 | difference; but those in the open sea can only be shaken if the

116  II,  9 |       happens when you strike the sea with a rod by night and
117 III,  4 |            So promontories in the sea "loom" when there is a south-east
