Off topic but I've always thought of grounding as conceptually making the entire earth a part of the circuit and so dispersing the energy over a very large area.

Is that conceptualisation correct?

What happens is you have say a conductive (iron rich) top layer. Is there still the potential to dangerously energise the ground? I assume so because that's basically what water and electricity does?
