5. The British Isles
Many thousands of years ago the mainland of Europe stretched much further west than now, and by the sinking of the land, the ocean covered a great deal of the continent. The British Isles and neighboring small islands were left above the surface of the sea, because they were the highest parts of the land. The water flowed into the valleys among the hills, thus producing an uneven coast and many good harbors.
There are many facts which prove this. None of the seas round the British Isles are very deep. In fact in some parts of the North Sea there is a depth of less than six meters. The rounded flat-topped hills that give character to the English scenery have been worn down by the slowly moving sheet of ice that once covered the whole of Northern Europe. The white chalk cliffs of Southern England correspond to those of Northern France, while the lowlands of the east coast correspond to the lowlands of Holland. The forests that once covered the greater part of the country were made up of common European trees. Nowadays there are practically no forests in Britain, but there are very many leafy trees that give beauty to the countryside.
Британские острова
Много тысяч лет назад континентальная часть Европы протягивалась намного дальше на запад, чем сейчас, и с понижением уровня земли, океан покрыл большую часть континента. Британские острова и соседние с ними небольшие острова остались над уровнем моря, потому что они были самыми высокими частями земли. Вода текла в долины среди холмов, таким образом, производя неровное побережье и много хороших гаваней.
Есть много фактов, которые доказывают это. Ни одно из морей вокруг Британских островов не является очень глубоким. Фактически в некоторых частях Северного моря есть глубина менее шести метров. Округленные холмы с плоской вершиной, которые дают характер английскому пейзажу, были стерты медленно движущимся слоем льда, который когда-то покрывал всю Северную Европу. Белые как мел утесы южной Англии соответствуют таковым в Северной Франции, в то время как низменность восточного побережья соответствует низменности Голландии. Леса, которые когда-то покрывали большую часть страны, представляли собой обычные европейские деревьея. В настоящее время в Великобритании нет фактически никаких лесов, но есть очень много покрытых листвой деревьев, которые дают красоту сельской местности.
