The megaflood that brought the Mediterranean back to life; a catastrophe like no other

Millions of years ago, the Mediterranean Sea faced a dramatic event. It largely dried up due to tectonic shifts. This created salt flats. Later, the Strait of Gibraltar reopened. Atlantic waters rushed in, causing a megaflood. This refilled the sea quickly. The flood reshaped coastlines and underwater landscapes. It also transformed ecosystems.
