Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This educational video provides a comprehensive tour of Europe's most significant river systems, exploring both their physical formation and their deep connections to human history. The narrator, Brian, begins by explaining the geological origins of European waterways, attributing their abundance to ancient glaciation that carved deep valleys and gorges about 20,000 years ago. The video then transitions into detailed profiles of seven major rivers: the Volga, Danube, Rhine, Rhone, Seine, Elbe, and Thames, utilizing maps and drone footage to illustrate their paths and geographic context.
