Scholars say that the first creation story in the Book of Genesis (Genesis 1:1-2:4a) originated in a maritime environment. The creation begins by describing what is already there (KJV): "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God [wind] moved upon the face of the waters." This account is attributed to the Priestly Source, writing during the Babylonian Exile or shortly afterwards.

The second creation story (Genesis 2:4b-25) also describes what is already there, but as would be expected by an author accustomed to an arid environment. There was dry earth, "for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth." We are not told the setting in which God created Adam, but God later moved Adam to the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:8) and continued the rest of his creation there.
