Was the Thames once a tribributary of the river Rhine?
No. The Thames is in England, which is on an island. The Rhine is in Germany, in Central Europe.
I think what you mean is 'During the last Ice age Britain was connected to Europe by a land bridge which now forms the bed of the English Channel and southern North Sea. As the mouth of the Themes is in the southern North Sea could the Themes have once flown over the land-bridge to Europe and the into the Rhine?'
The answer is still no because the shape of the land-bridge was the same as the shape of the sea-bed. Therefore the Thames would flow down onto the land bridge but then would have had to flow uphill to what are now the coasts of France and the Netherlands. Instead it would have continued downhill to the coast at the time.
I'm sorry to go into such detail but I wanted you to be sure that the Thames has never been a tributary of the Rhine.
WRONG. The above statment is Totally and Factually incorrect. See any number of learned articles on the geography and geology of the Thames-Rhine river complex during the last sequence of glaciations.
In Brief, when the southern North Sea and English Channel was DRY, due to far lower sea levels, BOTH the Thames and the Rhine flowed down from their respective present coasts into that valley/land bridge that is now the bed of the North Sea and English Channel and there they joined together, then flowed north into what was then the the "Esturary of the Rhine" as they reached the then sea coast off the present coast of Scotland.
Since the water volume of the Rhine was/is greater than that of the Thames, the primary river is deemed to have been the Rhine, and the Thames to have been the tributary river, just as huge rivers like the Ohio and the Missouri are deemed tributaries of the Mississippi.
because they thought above ground travel was too dangerous and expensive.
