Fantom [35]3 years ago

The biggest problem with the creation of the polders that are below the sea level is the flooding of the same.

Even though the polders are made very carefully, everything is well planned, and all the required measures of long term safety of them are put in action, still there's always the concern of flooding hanging around. Because the polders are bellow the sea level, if by some chance the sea manages to penetrate in them, probably after some natural disaster, than the whole polder will be filled with water and become one huge pool, and because of this water everything in it will be destroyed in just a matter of minutes, thus lots of human lives will be lost, and a huge economic damage will be made.

For the answer to the question above, I would say that the Netherlands was one good example of what are the dangers when creating polders that are below the sea level. The water always goes where there is a lower level of the land. That's when the flooding occurs. You can't have a flood on the mountain. Water will always find its way to lower areas of land.

Answer:

The Renaissance, which means "rebirth" in French, typically refers to a period in European history from A.D. 1400 to A.D. 1600. Many historians, however, assert that it started earlier or ended later, depending on the country. It bridged the periods of the Middle Ages and modern history, and, depending on the country, overlaps with the Early Modern, Elizabethan and Restoration periods. The Renaissance is most closely associated with Italy, where it began in the 14th century, though countries such as Germany, England and France went through many of the same cultural changes and phenomena.
