Scientists find signs of Earth ’s largest known flood five million years ago .
Massive torrent of Atlantic Ocean water burst through a natural dam near modern-day Gibraltar .
Rushing waters carved these streamlined islands in its path, scientists say.
As the torrent carved deeper channels, it actually gained power and slightly changed direction, matching patterns preserved in the rock record.
The flood’s direction shifted clockwise as it carved deeper channels, matching the observed ridge orientations.
The researchers note that their computer models couldn’t fully reconstruct the maximum flood discharge rates suggested by other studies.
Some flood deposits may have been lost to erosion over the past 5 million years .
