{{main|Geology of the Netherlands}}

The Netherlands is mostly composed of [[river delta|deltaic]], [[coast]]al and [[Aeolian processes|aeolian]] derived sediments during the [[Pleistocene]] [[glacial]] and [[interglacial]] periods.<ref name="international2000" />

Almost the entire west Netherlands is composed of the [[Rhine]]-[[Meuse]] river [[estuary]]. In the east of the Netherlands, remains are found of the [[Last Glacial Period|last ice age]], which ended approximately ten thousand years ago. As the continental [[ice sheet]] moved in from the north, it pushed [[moraine]] forward. The ice sheet halted as it covered the eastern half of the Netherlands. After the ice age ended, the moraine remained in the form of a long hill-line. The cities of [[Arnhem]] and [[Nijmegen]] are built on these hills.<ref>{{cite book |last1= Wong |first1=Th.E. |last2=Batjes |first2=D.A.J.|last3=Jager|first3=J. de|year=2007 |title=Geology of the Netherlands |publisher=[[KNAW]] |isbn=978-90-6984-481-7}}</ref>
