👉 The African Veins are a term used to describe the network of deep-lying, ancient river systems that crisscross the African continent. These systems are remnants of a time when Africa was still connected to the southern supercontinent Gondwana and formed during the breakup of Pangaea. They are characterized by their immense scale, some of which stretch for hundreds of kilometers and have been eroded over millions of years. The African Veins play a crucial role in understanding the continent's geological history and the formation of its diverse landscapes.
