The seascape is one of the Dutch landscape types, which occurs in Zeeland, in the South Holland Islands, northwestern Brabant and northern Noord-Holland, Groningen and Friesland. The soil consists of fertile sea clay, which has been deposited under the influence of ebb and flood. Origin
The oldest sea cliff is deposited from the Early Holocaust, when the sea level rose sharply by melting the ice. Along the coast in west and north Netherlands, closed seas, with a lagoon lagoon behind them, were similar to the current Wadden Sea. Due to the fact that the sea continued to sediment, the aquatic environment could remain in a period of a very rising sea level.
When the beaches became largely closed, cattle could grow in the hinterland. From the early Middle Ages, the peat was mined and demolished, so the coastal areas became more sensitive to burglaries from the sea. Creams were formed and clay was deposited on the peat (young sea clay).
Areas of the flooded areas are often reclaimed later. For example, in Zealand, the old country is known behind the original beaches and the newly emigrated new country. Kwelders and occupation
The flooded places were not always flooded with floods, vegetation could grow and salt marshes formed. Because the country was relatively drier, people could live here. The occupation of the seaside areas in Northern Netherlands has already taken place on a small scale since the twelfth century BC. From the seventh century BC, the occupation of the seaside areas became more intense. In the kwelders were initially raised terpenes, especially in Friesland, Groningen (wierden) and North Germany (Warften); Then, from the tenth century AD, the areas were protected by sea dives. Later, the lakes began to dry inland, such as the Haarlemmermeer and the Wieringermeer. This is called a dry cleaner. Literature
