Figure 2.23: Muddy tidal flat in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleswig-Holstein_Wadden_Sea_National_Park" target="_blank">Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park </a>of northern Germany. This area represents some of the most continuous tidal flats on Earth and is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Although the tidal range here is only approximately 2 m, the low gradient of the coastal zone means that large areas can be exposed during falling or ebbing tide and covered by water during rising or flooding tides.
