Summary
DescriptionMessinian salinity crisis 5.96 mya stage - drying.jpg |
Català: Tancament del darrer canal de conexió entre la Mediterrània i l'Atlàntic, conduint a la dessecació completa del primer durant la Crisi Salina del Messinià fa 5,96 milions d'anys. Els rius - (B) i (C) - que anteriorment drenaven la Mediterrània, van escavar en els marges continentals profunds congostos erosius; (D) l'evaporació de la Mediterrània va dur a la saturació de la sal en les seves aigües i a la precipitació de capes de sal de més d'un kilòmetre de gruix; (E) a les parts més profundes del mar hi van quedar llacs on s'evaporava l'aigua recollida de la conca mediterrània. La vinyeta recrea el trànsit de mamífers, com els camèlids i els jerbus petits, a través de l'estret de Gibraltar.

Español: Cierre del último canal de conexión entre el Mediterráneo y el Atlántico, conduciendo a la desecación completa del primero durante la Crisis Salina Mesiniense hace 5,96 millones de años. Los ríos - (B) y (C) - que anteriormente drenaban al Mediterráneo excavaron en los márgenes continentales profundas gargantas erosivas; (D) la evaporación del Mediterráneo condujo a la saturación de la sal en sus aguas y a la precipitación de capas de sal de más de un kilómetro de espesor; (E) en las partes más profundas del mar quedaron lagos donde se evaporaba el agua recogida de la cuenca mediterránea. La viñeta recrea el tránsito de mamíferos, como camélidos y gerbillos, a través del estrecho de Gibraltar.

English: Closing the last channel connecting the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, leading to the first drying during the Messinian salinity crisis 5.96 million years ago. Rivers - (B) and (C) - which previoust drained to the Mediterranean excavated erosion gorges in the continental margins; (D) evaporation of the Mediterranean led to saturation of the salt in its waters and precipitation of salt layers over a kilometer thick; (E) in the deeper parts of the sea were lakes where water collected from the Mediterranean basin evaporated. The inset box recreates the mammalian, like camélidos and gerbils, transit across the Strait.
