[Qu'ran 55: 33]O company of Jinn and man, escape the diameters (Aktar in Arabic اقطار) of the Heavens and the Earth if you can, You won't escape without authority.

This is the best one I can think of. Many people thought the earth was round. People all over did, dating way back to when Archimedes conceived his idea of the geocentric universe.

But it was not the accepted model until AFTER the Koran was given as a missive.

[25:53] He is the one who has set free the two kinds of water, one sweet and palatable, and the other salty and bitter. And He has made between them a barrier and a forbidding partition.

This is the section on fresh and saltwater. The most notable thing, is this is not said when speaking of waters in general. Although God says there are two different kinds of waters elsewhere in the Qu'ran, he does not mention anything about a partition when talking about the sea. Pic related obviously.
