Summary

Description
Català: Restricció dels canals d'intercanvi d'aigua marina entre l'Atlàntic i la Mediterrània fa uns 6,5 milions d'anys, abans de la Crisi Salina del Messinià. La presència de diversos canals i la seva profunditat permetia mantenir la salinitat de la Mediterrània a nivells normals, com passa avui en dia gràcies als corrents de l'Estret de Gibraltar.

English: Restriction channels seawater exchange between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean for about 6.5 million years before the Messinian salinity crisis. The presence of several corridors and its depth allowed to maintain salinity of the Mediterranean to normal levels as happens today due to the Strait of Gibraltar flows.
