ما مضيق يفصل بين المغرب وإسبانيا?

ال Strait of Gibraltar (عربى: مضيق جبل طارق‎, بالحروف اللاتينية: Maḍīq Jabal Ṭāriq; الأسبانية: مضيق جبل طارق) هو المضيق الضيق الذي يربط بين المحيط الأطلسي إلى البحر الأبيض المتوسط ​​ويفصل بين جبل طارق وشبه الجزيرة اسبانيا في أوروبا من المغرب في أفريقيا.

ويفصل القارتين من خلال 14.3 كم (8.9 اميال; 7.7 ميلا بحريا) of ocean at the Strait’s narrowest point. The Strait’s depth ranges between 300 و 900 متر (980 و 2,950 أقدام; 160 و 490 fathoms) which possibly interacted with the lower mean sea level of the last major glaciation 20,000 years ago when the level of the sea is believed to have been lower by 110–120 m (360–390 ft; 60–66 fathoms).^[3] Ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 الدقائق. The Spanish side of the Strait is protected under El Estrecho Natural Park.

The name comes from the Rock of Gibraltar, which in turn originates from the Arabic Jabal Ṭāriq (المعنى “Tariq’s Mount”),named after Tariq ibn Ziyad. It is also known as the Straits of Gibraltar, the Gut of Gibraltar (although this is mostly archaic),the STROG (STRait Of Gibraltar) in naval use,و Bāb al-Maghrib (عربى: باب المغرب‎), “Gate of Morocco”. In the Middle Ages, Muslims called it Az-Zuqāq (الزقاق), “the Passage”, the Romans called it Fretum Gaditanum (Strait of Cadiz),^[7] and in the ancient world it was known as the “Pillars of Hercules”
