Great Britain is close to France. At present, the distance between the stait of Dover (England ) and Cap Blanc Nez near Calais (France ) is about fifty km. Yet these two cities were once linked and integrated into the European continent.
The ruptur between these two places was a major phenomene in the history of Great Britain, helping to shape the country ' s island identity.
It is through the geological history of this region that we can explain how England distances itself from Europe.
For a long time, the United Kingdom was a peninsule linked to North-Western Europe, which gradually became “isolated” by a succession of glacial episodes and warmings, and even sismic accidents that are thought to have created between - 450000, and - 130000,
This would have created a fracture in the cliffs, linking it to the European continent via Cap Blanc Nez and Dover in England. This is how the narow Channel was formed.
During the last Ice Age, an “ice pack” knew as the British-Irish Ice Cap covered much of Europe, and sea levels were much lower than they are today. There was a long roky ridge 32 km long linking Great Britain and France.
Behind this ridge was a large lake made up of icebergs, which today correspond to the North Sea on its way to the North Pole.
At that time, the English Channel was a plain of land linking the two countries.
