Description
The Vanished Ocean: How Tethys Reshaped the World
This book tells the story of the ancient ocean that once spanned the world, from its origins 250 million years ago to its disappearance six million years ago. The clues of its existence are scattered across the globe, from Morocco to China.
Geologists have pieced together the evidence in rocks and fossils to reconstruct the history of Tethys, a vast ocean that played a significant role in shaping life on Earth. This book explores the powerful forces that shaped the ocean, its impact on climate and environment, and the extraordinary events that led to its disappearance.
