After the formation of the Isthmus of Panama, the Caribbean Sea became a closed sea, generating the Gulf Stream with few tidal movements and few nutrients, and it also generated warmer temperatures in northern Europe.
Summary

| Description |
Español: Después de la formación del istmo de Panamá, el mar caribe se convirtió en un mar cerrado, generando la corriente del Golfo con pocos movimientos de mareas y pocos nutrientes, además generó temperaturas más cálidas en el norte de Europa. Como resultado, el mar se volvió más caliente y salada, idóneo para la creación de arrecifes coralinos. El océano Pacífico en cambio fue más complejo al ser más frio, ya que los vientos alisios cruzan Panamá, en el lado Pacífico, empujan las aguas superficiales hacia el oeste, haciendo que el agua fría, rica en nutrientes, suba desde el fondo hasta la superficie. Estos nutrientes, junto con la energía del sol, provocan una floración masiva de plancton que suministra millones de anchoas que luego generan un frenesí de alimentación de las aves marinas, el atún, rayas, ballenas y tiburones. Además es menos salado, y contiene pocos arrecifes coralinos.
English: After the formation of the Isthmus of Panama, the Caribbean Sea became a closed sea, generating the Gulf Stream with few tidal movements and few nutrients, and it also generated warmer temperatures in northern Europe. As a result, the sea became hotter and saltier, ideal for creating coral reefs. The Pacific Ocean, on the other hand, was more complex as it was colder, since the trade winds cross Panama, on the Pacific side, pushing the surface waters to the west, causing the cold water, rich in nutrients, to rise from the bottom to the surface. These nutrients, along with energy from the sun, trigger a massive plankton bloom that supplies millions of anchovies that then generate a feeding frenzy for seabirds, tuna, rays, whales, and sharks. It is also less salty, and contains few coral reefs. |
