The Earth is dynamic. All of it. Plate tectonics, weather, ocean currents, biosphere, cryosphere, extraterrestrial like solar events, meteorites, nearby supernovaeAnd on and on and onBut the seas are constant right? I mean that they exist. They have almost always existed. No I am not going back to Porto oceans some 4 billion years ago! I am referring to the mediterranean! I hope you are up for a salty tale of disappearing sea.This episode is all me. Because I like this topic, I have enough background to tell the story after digging through the literature, and wanted to spin this whimsical yarn in a different way than an interview. Why is the Mediterranean Sea so confident?Because it’s always making waves!But there was a time where nearly the whole mediterranean basin dried up! Called Messinian salinity crisis.Links for Whimsical Wavelengths:Facebook:www.facebook.com/WhimsicalWavelengthsInstagram: @whimsical.wavelengthsBluesky: @whimsicallambda.bsky.socialEmail: [email protected]: patreon.com/WhimsicalWavelengths
