Pourquoi l’Europe et l’Afrique ne sont-elles pas reliées ? #Histoire #Géographie

Why Europe and Africa are not connected? The two continents are separated by the D3 of Gibraltar, which measures 14 km wide. So why no bridge was built? The problem does not reside in the distance, because there are rivers crossing the water levels much wider. The real challenge is geographic order. The D3 of Gibraltar is extremely deep, with powerful currents, which will make a bridge very unstable. In some areas, the depth reaches several hundred meters, and the region is also subject to Earth's tremble. In addition, this D3 is one of the most frequent maritime routes in the world, referring to the Mediterranean Sea in Atlantic Ocean. All construction projects should be avoided to perpetuate the constant maritime traffic. Although it is technically possible to build a bridge or a tunnel, the colossal and difficult times of engineering are that the project is currently considered as economically irreplaceable.
