This narrated QuickTime movie shows footage of the Rhine River as part of a stream course case study. It introduces the concept of a graded stream and discusses landscapes and features such as waterfalls, gorges, and floodplains created by the Rhine from its upper course in glacial Swiss Alps to its delta on the North Sea. This movie is from Chapter 16 (the Cycling of Water on the Continents) of the animations section of the Instructor Companion Site for the Wiley Higher Education textbook (ISBN 0-471-23800-7) Physical Geography: Science and Systems of the Human Environment, Second Edition by Alan Strahler.
