How a salt giant radically reshaped Mediterranean marine biodiversity
This video is a recreation of one of the proposed models for how the Mediterranean was isolated by the sinking of a lithospheric plate into the Earth's mantle (approx. 6 million years ago) and how dry climate then lead to the desiccation of that sea during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (approx. 5.5 million years ago), until 5.33 million years ago, the level of the Atlantic exceeded that of the Gibraltar land bridge and triggered a fast refill.
