Kana risingarevi Gungwa, Tethys ari kureva chii murugwaro urwu? Tichifunga nezvemubvunzo wapfuura, nyora mashoko akapoteredza mhinduro yacho. Inogona kuva mitsara 1 - 20. Mashoko akapoteredza:
Kumaodzanyemba kweEurope, nguva yacho yakaiswa muTriassic Period yeMesozoic Era, nekuvhurwa kweTethys Ocean, pakati peEurasian neAfrica tectonic mahwendefa, pakati pe240 MBP ne220 MBP (mamiriyoni emakore apfuura). Gungwa reMediterranean razvino rinoburuka kubva mugungwa iri rakati kurei reTethys. Panenge pa 180 MBP, muJurassic Period, mahwendefa maviri akachinja nzira ndokutanga kumanikidza pasi peTethys, zvichikonzera kuti ipinde pasi peEurasia uye ichisundira kumusoro kumucheto kweplate yekupedzisira muAlpine Orogeny yeOligocene uye Miocene Periods. Zvidimbu zviduku zvinoverengeka zvakabatwa mukumanikidzwa uye zvakatenderedzwa kana kuti zvakadzvanywa nechokumucheto, zvichigadzira zvimiro zvomunhu oga zvejografa yeMediterranean: Iberia yakadzvanya Pyrenees; Italy, Alps, uye Anatolia, zvichienda kumadokero, makomo eGreece nezvitsuwa. Kupfupikiswa uye orogeny zvinopfuurira nhasi, sezvinoratidzwa nokupfuurira kwokukwirira kwemakomo zvishoma gore rimwe nerimwe uye makomo anoputika.
