In England, mostly consists of plains. In the north, extends from the borders of Scotland and the chain Penina, in the far northwest, is the mass of Cumberland, which, subject to the action of quaternary glaciers, is called the area of lakes (Lake District), and culminates in Scafell mountain with 978m. The extreme southwest of England is a region of hills, forming the peninsula of Cornwall curl. Where the old layers of solid or Lowlands project in arriving directly to the coast, rises with rugged coastlines, such as Cornwall and the famous "white cliffs of Dover" (white cliffs of Dover). The melting of ice, after the last glaciation, has increased the level of the sea and drowned the low valleys, resulting in materials, as in estuaries of the Thames and Severn (or channel of Bristol). The west coast of Britain is much more to cut the east, its busiest ports, however, are protected from winds and storms from the Atlantic coast of the indentation, for golf (like the Irish Sea) and the shields of islands such as Ireland, the Hebrides and the Isle of Man in western Britain.
