About 5.33 million years ago, Atlantic water reconnected with a severely depleted Mediterranean. One influential model estimates that as much as 90% of the basin refilled within several months to two years, briefly reaching flows near 100 million cubic metres per second and producing a roughly 390-kilometre erosional channel—but whether the Mediterranean was nearly dry and whether the final refilling was truly catastrophic remain disputed.
