Geography of Ostrobothnia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Due to the fact that the whole Ostrobothnia is actually ice age (Weichsel glaciation) seabed, its topography is flat with few hills, and characterized by South-East to North-West running rivers, which were formed by waters at the end of the glaciation.
The bedrock in the area, where exposed, features SE-NW oriented lines carved by rocks which were pushed South-East by the advancing ice mass during the glaciation. To the end of the ice age, the ice mass melted away, leaving its marks all over the country: huge rocks, carved lines on the bedrock, sand pits etc.
