Meet Africa’s Largest Sea

The Mediterranean Sea is the largest sea on the African continent, of approximately 2.5 million square kilometres (970,000 square miles).

It's located to the North of the continent, and the biggest of the seas that directly border the African landmass.

It's precisely situated between North Africa and Southern Europe, as it ceaselessly showcases its peculiar outlook.

It's a significantly larger body of water compared to the Red Sea, another sea bordering Africa to the Northeast.

In summary, Africa is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the North, the Red Sea to the Northeast, the Indian Ocean to the East, and the Atlantic Ocean to the West.

The Sea was a pivotal center for trade and cultural exchange between Europe, Africa, and Asia, fostering ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.

It played a significant role in shaping economies and cultures through warfare and commerce.

Geologically, the sea was formed by a massive reflooding during the Zanclean flood around 5.3 million years ago, after being almost completely dried up during the Messinian Salinity Crisis.

The wonders of nature.
