Alps
The Alps mountain ranges.
The Alps serve as a major source for many of Europe's rivers, and the water flowing from these mountains ultimately reaches four distinct seas:
- North Sea1
- Mediterranean Sea1
- Adriatic Sea1
- Black Sea1
These waters are carried to these destinations by major river systems, including the Rhône, Rhine, Po, and the Danube and its various tributaries.1
