Strait of Gibraltar
About Strait of Gibraltar
The Strait of Gibraltar, also known as the Straits of Gibraltar, is a narrow strait that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and separates Europe from Africa. The two continents are separated by 7.7 nautical miles at its narrowest point. Ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes. The Strait's depth ranges between 300 and 900 metres.

Other times Strait of Gibraltar came up
The idea was damming up all the places where water could get in. Dam up the Strait of Gibraltar, dam up the Dardanelles, dam up the bit between Tunisia and Sicily, and eventually water would stop coming into the med and it would dry up. Also all these dams would be the locations of huge hydroelectric power plants, and so the power generated by them would provide power for everyone.
