"A mellékelt rajzon láthatja az olvasó az érdekes földabroszt, láthat rajta óceánokat meg öblöket, tenger-szorosokat meg tengernyelveket, s a száraz földnek is oly alakulásait, mint akár Földünk felületén. De láthatja azt is, hogy a tenger meg a szárazföld még sokkal kedvezőbben vannak eloszolva, mint minálunk. Hosszú tengernyelvek nyúlnak be a kontinensekbe, ugy hogy a legtávolabbi vidékeknek is megvan a maga tengeri összeköttetése, s viszont egyik kontinensről szárazon is el lehet menni a másik kontinensre. Csak a Koper-nikről nevezett nagy szárazföld képez e tekintetben kivételt, de ezt is csak két keskeny csatorna választja el a többi szárazföldtől. E csatornák, valamint a Lambert és Lassel tengerszorosok vannak egyszersmind hivatva arra, hogy általok a forró égöv tengereinek naptól áthevitett víztömege a jeges tengerekével kicserélődjék, mint az Földünkön is történik a nagy tengeráramok által."
