The lakes became inlets.
The forests were inundated.
What had been a productive and inhabited landscape became, over several thousand years, the floor of the North Sea.

But there was also at least one more catastrophic event: a submarine landslide on the Norwegian continental shelf, approximately 8,200 years ago, triggered a tsunami that struck the North Sea coast of Doggerland.
This event, known as the Storegga Slide, may have inundated large areas of low-lying Doggerland rapidly and catastrophically.
