flag English language

In the Middle Ages large areas of the Netherlands were flooded by the sea. What was the reason?
peat extraction
tectonic movements
rise of the ocean level
building dams over rivers
Most of the areas below sea level are man-made, caused by centuries of extensive and poorly controlled peat extraction, lowering the surface by several meters. Even in flooded areas, peat extraction continued through turf dredging.

W okresie średniowiecza rozległe tereny Holandii znalazły się poniżej poziomu morza. Jaki był powód tego procesu?
wydobycie torfu
ruchy tektoniczne
podnoszenie się poziomu oceanów
budowanie tam na rzekach
Większość terenów znalazło się poniżej poziomu morza na skutek działalności człowieka. Stulecia wydobywania torfu na szeroką skalę i bez żadnej kontroli obniżyło powierzchnię ziemi o kilka metrów.
