Answer:
the Netherlands
The North Sea Floods
The Dutch and their ancestors have been working to hold back and reclaim land from the North Sea for over 2000 years. Beginning around 400 BCE, the Frisians were first to settle the Netherlands
Economic development is able to continue in the absence of the resources that first drove it because:
- Countries can trade to get the resources
- Economic development allows for diversification
When a nation is unable to access the resources that made it quite successful, it can resort to buying that resource and then improving on it.
For instance, the U.K. used to produce sufficient coal but now import more than they produce.
Another way a nation can continue developing is diversification. The income gained from the resource that has now finished, will enable a nation to go into other economic activities which will continue their development.
For example, China used to export only agricultural goods but diversified into industrial.
In conclusion, a country can keep developing if their primary resource is finished thanks to trade and diversification.

Topographic maps use contour lines to show elevation.
Topographic maps, often called "topo maps," feature contour lines to portray the shape and elevation of the land.
Contour lines (lines of equal elevation) that are close together indicate steep terrain, while lines that are far apart indicate flat terrain.
Such maps also usually portray both natural and artificial features. They show and name natural land formations such as mountains, valleys, plains, lakes, rivers and vegetation. They also identify particular man made features such as roads, boundaries, transmission lines and major buildings.
