The First Continent

<p>Where did the ground we walk on come from? As humans, we tend to take land for granted, despite the fact that, even today, it covers only about a third of the Earth&rsquo;s surface. What&rsquo;s more, land is largely two-dimensional. With the exception of tiny burrowing beasts, most of our activity takes place on the surface. The ocean, on the other hand, has a vast third dimension, hosting various kinds of creatures all the way through. &ldquo;How inappropriate to call this planet Earth&rdquo;, the science-fiction novelist Arthur C. Clarke once wrote, &ldquo;when it should quite clearly be called Ocean&rdquo;.</p> <p>Be that as it may, we do have our land.
