Six million years 00:10:16.429 --> 00:10:19.909 ago, tectonic activity isolated the Mediterranean 00:10:19.909 --> 00:10:23.629 from the Atlantic, leading to a significant evaporation 00:10:23.629 --> 00:10:27.419 period. The flood known as the Zanclean Mega 00:10:27.419 --> 00:10:30.139 Flood occurred when mountains sank, allowing 00:10:30.139 --> 00:10:32.679 water to surge into the basin at astonishing 00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:37.940 speeds of 72 miles per hour. This flood transformed 00:10:37.940 --> 00:10:40.740 the region, triggering earthquakes and creating 00:10:40.740 --> 00:10:43.919 massive waterfalls 30 times taller than Niagara. 00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:48.100 While marine life struggled to adapt, the Mediterranean 00:10:48.100 --> 00:10:51.379 eventually evolved into a biodiversity hotspot. 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.279 Teaching us vital lessons about environmental 00:10:54.279 --> 00:11:01.759 change.
