As the ice age kept storing water in frozen state inland, the weight of the ice sheet pressed the European northernmost land against the magma. Over thousands of years the magma below it sunk. But raised in the south pushing up the land. The parts that wasn't covered by ice, where the Mediterranean Sea is was pressed upwards. Pushed the water back to the Atlantic. Rivers were non existent. That's why we have Holland -which is slowly sinking again as Scandinavia land is still rising as the magma underneath levels again free of ice on top of it. During the ice age, the land covered by water raised and that's what is Holland today. (We don't call them Low Countries for nothing) This is a process that millennia. While that happens, Mediterranean Sea, slowly sinks again and as it sinks, mm by mm, as you see happening with Holland today, water collects on the -again- lowered land. The thing that I most like of dropping off at high school is that without stupid teachers and silly curricula you learn the beauty of nature by yourself just because it is beauty. And no one can learn the stuff better than this way.
