Afsluitdijk

The afsluitdijk is a big wall that was built in the Netherlands to stop water from the sea from flooding the land. It's like a really big dam made of rocks and concrete that stretches across the water.

Imagine you're playing with your toy boats at the beach, and sometimes the water comes up and covers all the sand. Just like that, sometimes the water from the sea comes up and covers the land in the Netherlands. This can be very dangerous because the water can destroy houses, roads, and even hurt people.

The afsluitdijk was built to stop this from happening. It's like a big wall that sits in the water and stops the water from coming onto the land. The wall is very strong and can last for many years.

Now people in the Netherlands can live and work without being scared of the water. They can also build more things like farms and roads on the land because they know they won't get destroyed by the water.

So the afsluitdijk is like a big superhero that protects people from the water and keeps them safe.
