Is the Mediterranean sea landlocked?
No, the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean are connected by a narrow body of water called the Straits of Gibraltar, and the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea (an arm of the Indian Ocean) are connected by a man made channel called the Suez Canal. Prior to the construction of the Suez Canal and if the Straits of Gibraltar were to close such that the Spanish and Moroccan borders were fused together, then the Mediterranean Sea would be landlocked since there are no other significant outlets that lead to other large bodies of water. The Mediterranean Sea does connect with the Black Sea through a narrow body of water called the Dardenelles, but the Black Sea is also a landlocked body of water and therefore doesn't change the status of the Mediterranean Sea.
