1. The Mediterranean refers to the vast waters between Asia, Africa and Europe, which is the largest land sea in the world. The earliest Jews and ancient Greeks called it "the sea" or "the sea" for short. Because ancient people only knew that this sea was located between three continents, it was called "Mediterranean". English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and other languages are spelled from Latin MareMediterraneum, in which "medi" means "between" and "terra" means "land", and the full name means "sea in the middle of land". The name first appeared in ancient books in the 3rd century. In the 7th century AD, the Spanish writer Isir took the Mediterranean as a geographical name for the first time.
The three major peninsulas in southern Europe and the islands of Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica divide the Mediterranean into several small sea areas: Goulias Sea, tyrrhenian sea, Adriatic Sea, Ionian Sea and Aegean Sea.
the Mediterranean plays an important role in transportation and strategy. It can reach the Atlantic Ocean via the Strait of Gibraltar in the west, the Black Sea via the Turkish Strait in the northeast, and the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean via the Suez Canal in the southeast. It is an important waterway between Europe, Asia and Africa, and also an important channel to communicate between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.
