Vanished Ocean: How Tethys Reshaped the World

Six million years ago, a vast ocean--which scientists have named Tethys--vanished from the face of the earth. How could such a huge body of water simply disappear?

It is a story that reminds us of the profound impact of oceans and their currents on the environment, climate, and life of our planet.
