Quotation from: The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci

Written by: Leonardo da Vinci


We will say that the rains which penetrate the earth are what is
under the foundations of cities with their inhabitants, and are what
restore through the internal passages of the earth the saltness
taken from the sea; and that the change in the place of the sea,
which has been over all the mountains, caused it to be left there in
the mines found in those mountains, &c.


The characteristics of sea water (948. 949).
