A megaflood refilled the Mediterranean

New Evidence Bolsters Theory of Megaflood That Refilled the Mediterranean Millions of Years Ago
Researchers identified geological features that point to a single massive flooding event that refilled the Mediterranean Sea 5.33 million years ago
Scientists Uncover Evidence of a Colossal Megaflood That Refilled the Mediterranean Sea
In a groundbreaking study, researchers unveiled compelling evidence of the Zanclean Megaflood, a colossal event that refilled the Mediterranean Sea in mere years, reshaping its landscape with unprecedented water flow and velocities.
68 billion liters per second: A megaflood refilled the Mediterranean 5 million years ago
"The Zanclean megaflood was an awe-inspiring natural phenomenon, with discharge rates and flow velocities that eclipse all other known floods in Earth's history," said Dr. Aaron Micallef.
New evidence suggests megaflood refilled the Mediterranean Sea 5 million years ago
A study provides compelling new evidence that a colossal "megaflood" refilled the Mediterranean Sea, ending a period during which the Mediterranean was a vast expanse of salt flats. The research suggests the Zanclean Megaflood ended the Messinian Salinity Crisis,
Massive flood refilled an empty Mediterranean Sea millions of years ago
Scientists confirm a massive flood rapidly refilled the Mediterranean, drastically reshaping landscapes and altering geography in just years.

Ancient Mediterranean megaflood finally confirmed by modern science
In a nutshell Scientists have found definitive evidence of Earth’s largest known flood, which occurred 5 million years ago when Atlantic waters burst through Gibraltar and rapidly refilled the dried-out Mediterranean Sea with enough force to move 100 times more water than all of Earth’s current rivers combined.
Scientists Found Evidence of a Megaflood that Shaped Earth’s Geologic History
