Understanding the Geological Evolution of the Mediterranean Sea: A 200-Million-Year Journey

This comprehensive overview explores the geological evolution of the Mediterranean Sea over the past 200 million years. It delves into plate tectonics, the process of convection that drives plate movements, and the historical changes in the Mediterranean’s geography. Key stages of the Mediterranean’s formation and transformation are highlighted, from its beginnings as part of Pangaea to its current configuration. The implications of these geological processes on oil migration and resource distribution in the region are also discussed.
