Land
Land, sometimes referred to as dry land, is the solid surface of Earth that is not permanently covered by water.

Some life forms (including terrestrial plants and terrestrial animals) have developed from predecessor species that lived in bodies of water.

Edward Coke, 3rd Rep. 15; reported in James William Norton-Kyshe, Dictionary of Legal Quotations (1904), p. 147. Hence the maxim, that "the oak scorns to grow except on free land."

Henry George, Progress and Poverty (1879), Book VII, Ch. 1.
Land
La tierra es de quien la trabaja con sus manos.

An EU-funded project is developing hydrophobic coatings that give ice and water droplets little chance of sticking to wind turbine blades. The new coatings should help reduce wind farm maintenance costs and increase turbine lifespan.
