mar Mediterráneo: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que como norma general, el sustantivo genérico que figura en los nombres de los accidentes geográficos se escribe en minúscula: "mar Mediterráneo", "río Amazonas", "volcán de Fuego" [...] Esa norma, recogida en la Ortografía de la lengua española, no se aplica cuando el sustantivo genérico denota una realidad que no se corresponde con la naturaleza del referente designado; en esos casos se escribe con inicial mayúscula, pues se considera que forma parte de un nombre propio. 3, record 1, Spanish, - mar%20Mediterr%C3%A1neo
