how did the strait of gibraltar and the sinai mountain range come into being?

for a long time the mediterranean poured into the red sea and dug into the sides of the sinai mountain range. for the mediterranean’s rising waters, caused by so many rivers flowing into it, had also to be drained away. the rising and surging waters of the mediterranean on its western side - where today the strait of gibraltar is found - then divided the mountain massif in two, and flowed from there into the atlantic ocean. since then the waters of the mediterranean flow towards the west. and out of the red sea now towers once again the highest points: today’s sinai mountains in their breathtaking shape.
