Considered the Sahara since time immemorial of the most mysterious regions of our planet. Researchers around the world have failed over the centuries in solving the mystery arise.
Norwegian scientists in climate studies center in Bergen Norwegian posed a new hypothesis for the formation of the Sahara, says that the emergence dates back to a period far more than previously thought.
Published "Nature" magazine, the results of those studies where the Norwegians scientists prepare computerized model to change the Earth's climate over hundreds of thousands of years, and came to the conclusion that the desert has replaced the ocean "Taces" which was filled in the period of the Middle Ages.
Scientists believe that the perimeter "Taces" take disappears from the face of the earth for about 11 million a year, due to weak monsoon strength and deflection stream of moisture from the tropical Atlantic region to the south.
The results of the studies indicated that "Taces" completely disappeared 5 million a year ago. The desert itself arose in the ocean somewhere 7 million a year ago.
It is noteworthy that the Sahara currently stretches from north to south and 1.2 thousand kilometers, from west to east at a distance of 4.8 thousand kilometers. And it occupies approximately 30% of the area of the whole of Africa.
