peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2Saalien Explanation: The first time that ice covered the Netherlands was during the Elsterien period, and the second time was during the Saalien period. During the Saalien, the Dutch landscape was radically changed: lateral moraine and boulder clay were deposited. Enormous boulders were also transported into the Netherlands. Between 2700 and 2400 B.C. these stones were used to build megalithic tombs. After the second ice age, the sea gradually withdrew. Loam and peat sediments originate from the period after the Netherlands' ice ages. A third ice age, the Weichselien, never reached the Dutch border. However, strong cold winds shifted large quantities of sand around the country. Reference: http://www.deltawerken.com/Geology-of-the-Netherlands/112.ht... |
