Gibraltar

There's a very good airport at Gibraltar itself with flights from the UK. On the Spanish side the nearest are at Malaga to the east (about an hour by a very good toll road) and Jerez to the north/west. Seville is a little further away.

The Strait of Gibraltar is a 9 mile wide international waterway that connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Atlantic Ocean. It also separates Europe from Aftica.

Thje Straits of Gibraltar is not claimed by any one country.

Spain (and the British possession of Gibraltar) are on the north side of the straits and Morocco (And the Spanish possession of Cueta) is on the south side of the straits.

All three of these point are along a pathway that oil tankers take to ship to the USA. Without the Suez Canal, tankers would have to travel around the cape of Africa. These three places are geographic choke-holds in which the US does not own these areas, but if they are shut down it would cost loads more to ship around Africa.

It is the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea and all of its oceanic trade and can be easily blockaded

The Queen was only depicted wearing a necklace on coins using the Third Portrait from 1985 to 1997.

The coin commemorates the Tercentenary of British rule of Gibraltar.

These coins are still potentially in circulation so, unless they are part of a Proof or uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth Two Pounds.

Spain is north of the strait while Morocco is south.

The Rock of Gibraltar (the southern tip of Spain) can be found in the Northern Hemisphere, along with the entirety of the Mediterranean Sea.

It is also a strategic military function. It is one of the only ways for goods to be shipped from Italy, Turkey, and Greece to the UK and France and the United States by water.

The "Rock" of GibraltarGibraltar is a monolithic limestone promontory located in Gibraltar. The promotory has been hollowed out and fortified as a military defensive position controlling the Strait of Gibraltar over 2 centuries.

Gibraltar is a tiny British colony on the southernmost tip of Spain, and is mostly a huge cliff face, looking out across the narrowest part of the Mediterranean Sea. It was captured from the Spanish in 18th century, and at that time had huge strategic importance, as any shipping wishing to go out into the Atlantic Ocean from the Med (or vice versa) would have to pass within range of British cannons.

The Spanish have frequently demanded the return of sovereignty of the colony, which has equally frequently been rejected, and the people themselves have expressed the desire to remain British. Happily, the Spanish have refrained from copying the Argentinians' example in the Falklands of invading the place!

Gibraltar is home to the only wild apes to be found in Europe (the Barbary Apes), and is featured in the James Bond film ' The Livig Daylights', as the opening sequence is shot there. At the end of the chase, a Land Rover flies off the Rock and crashes into the Straits!

All oil tankers leaving from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, and Iran that are destined for the United States or other Western states MUST pass through the Strait of Hormuz, effectively making the strait's control important for securing the supply of Middle Eastern petroleum to Western consumers.

Promontories flanking the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar were known in antiquity as the Pillars of Hercules. The pillar on the northern European side, Calpe Mons, is the Rock of Gibraltar. The North African peak is not predominant, and as such, the identity of Abila Mons has been disputed throughout history. The two most likely peaks are Monte Hacho in Ceuta and Jebel Musa in Morocco.

The time it takes to sail a yacht from Plymouth, UK, to Gibraltar can vary significantly based on factors such as weather conditions, the specific route taken, and the yacht's speed. Typically, the distance is around 1,200 nautical miles, which could take approximately 10 to 14 days of continuous sailing at an average speed of 5 to 7 knots. However, many sailors may take longer to allow for rest, weather delays, and stops along the way.

Depending on your definition of "rock," the answer could be one of the following:

- because we are naturally good inside and, sometimes, it's nice to see others embrace that inherent goodness

- because they desire to express emotion through music

- because they are on a boat

- because of an earthquake

- because they are autistic

As for why "Rocks and Minerals" was listed as a category is beyond me as people cannot "rock" in the sense of naturally-occuring geological aggregates.
