It depends on which early philosophers you mean (astrologers did not concern themselves much with the issue, as they were more concerned with what was in the sky than on the ground). Some thought the soil / stone just continued downwards. Others that there was a fiery place within (thus explaining volcanoes). Still others thought the world was Swiss cheesed with rivers and seas.

How do you notify a homeowners insurance carrier of a dangerous dog?

You don't. If you are concerned about a dog in your neighborhood, it is better to try to prevent any possible injuries by calling the local dog warden. If you call the "homeowner insurance carrier", it is obvious that your only concern is in intervening in that homeowner's private insurance contract and that can get you into trouble and will not improve the safety in your neighborhood.
