The first part seems to work. What does the second part mean?
Put the sea floor on dry land? What? Is the dry land being lowered to sea level? Is sea floor dirt being moved?
- adrusi 10y agoIts using the term "sea floor" as an ingredient, "dry land" as a location. "Put rocks from the sea floor on a plot of dry land". To be fair to the editor, I don't see how "put x on y" could ever lead someone to ask the question "is y being lowered to x?".
- yuzi 10y agoIt's because people identify "sea floor" as being in a, relatively speaking, fixed position. Moving rocks from the sea floor != move sea floor.
