The geographical position of the Black Sea, perhaps, is known to every inhabitant of our country. Why? The thing is that almost all of us at least once in our lives have been to its coast, or we are planning to go there on our next vacation.
The map of the Black Sea of Russia shows that our country shares it with Ukraine, Georgia, Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania.
The location, history, climate and characteristic features of this section of the oceans will be discussed in this article.
Section 1. General Information
If you look at the Black Sea on a world map, you can be sure that it belongs to the Atlantic Ocean basin and belongs to the inland type of seas. Its area is approximately 422.0 thousand square meters. km (according to other sources - 436.4 thousand sq. km).
Visually, the sea resembles the shape of an oval with the largest axis of 1150 km. The maximum length from north to south is 580 km. The average depth is 1240 m, and the greatest is 2210 m.
The ports of the Black Sea have a number of advantages, since the waters of this section of the world ocean are connected to the Marmara through the Bosphorus, then, through the Dardanelles (Hellespont) - with the Mediterranean and Aegean, and the Kerch Strait - with the Sea of Azov.
The border line between Europe and Europe runs along its water area. The Crimean peninsula protrudes deeply into the northern part of the sea.
Its waters wash the territories of several states at once: Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Romania, Turkey and Bulgaria. In the northeast of the coast is the partially recognized state of Abkhazia.
The sea basin has a rare property. Its lower layers are filled with hydrogen sulfide, which is why life is completely absent at a depth of more than 150 m (with the exception of certain types of bacteria).
The geographical position of the Black Sea is very favorable. Why? The thing is that it has the most important economic, transport, strategic and military significance, and also belongs to the largest recreational zones of Eurasia. The main military bases of the Russian Black Sea Fleet are concentrated in the ports of Sevastopol and Novorossiysk.
Section 2. History of the Black Sea
Photos of the Black Sea, as a rule, attract attention, captivating with beauty and a certain infinity. But what do we really know about him?
First of all, it is impossible not to mention that this is a relatively young sea with an unformed ecosystem that continues to develop: the water level changes, new representatives of flora and fauna appear, and some disappear.
In the past, and this is about 8 thousand years ago, this sea was a lake at all. Its biosystem is highly susceptible to external influences - the influence of climate or man. Despite the fact that it is much smaller than the ocean and the life in it is less diverse, the Black Sea coast and its ecology are of interest to scientists.
Section 3. What is the climate of the elements?
The climate of the Black Sea region is due to the mid-continental location and is mainly of the continental type. This region is characterized by warm, wet winters and dry summers. and the Caucasian coast are protected from the winds by mountains, thanks to which there is a Mediterranean subtropical climate.
The geographical position of the Black Sea is such that weather conditions are significantly influenced by Atlantic cyclones, which bring storms and cooling. Winds from the southwest direction bring usually humid Mediterranean air masses.
In January, the average temperature in the north is up to +2°C, but there is a cooling down to -5°C, snow falls periodically. Much warmer in the south and the Caucasus. It rarely falls below +5°C.
The July air temperature in the north of the sea averages +25 - +27 °C. Thanks to the sea, the air temperature usually does not rise above 37°C.
The warmest corner of the Black Sea is the coast of the Caucasus, where the average is +17°C per year. The Caucasian coast has more precipitation (1500 mm per year), the least of them in the northwest (up to 300 mm per year).
The Black Sea is not subject to freezing, the water does not cool below +8 °C.
Section 4. Local flora and fauna
Have you ever thought about what kind of organisms inhabit the Black Sea? The characteristic shows that the flora of the Black Sea consists of more than 260 species of green, red bottom and brown algae: cladophora, ulva, cystoseira, zoster, etc.
The phytoplankton of the sea includes about 600 species, among which there are diatoms and representatives of dinoflagellates (dinophysis, alexandrium, protoperidinium).
The fauna is less diverse compared to, for example, the Mediterranean. 2,500 species of animals live in the waters of this sea, including 160 species of mammals and fish, up to 500 protozoa, 500 crustaceans, 200 molluscs, and other invertebrates. About 9,000 species live in the Mediterranean today.
At the bottom of the sea, oysters and mussels, predatory mollusks of rapana found shelter. Among the coastal rocks and stones you can find crabs, there are jellyfish, shrimps, sea anemones and sponges.
The small number of wildlife is affected by salinity and water temperature, as well as the formation of hydrogen sulfide at depths. However, the waters of the sea are suitable for the existence of undemanding species that do not require depth.
Section 5. What kind of resorts are on the Black Sea?
Russian resorts are located in the Krasnodar Territory. The most popular of them are Sochi, Anapa, Gelendzhik and Tuapse. The best sanatoriums and boarding houses are built here.
There are resorts on the Crimean peninsula: Evpatoria, Alushta, Yalta, Sudak, Feodosia, Chernomorskoe and Sokolinoe. Health resorts of Abkhazia are a paradise for relaxation. Odessa, which has become a real pearl by the sea in recent years, is one of the major tourist centers of Ukraine.
Sochi
Decided to go to the Black Sea? Reviews of travelers unanimously declare that it is really impossible not to visit here, and there are actually many prerequisites for this.
First of all, we note that Sochi is the southernmost and warmest resort in Russia. And it is here, on the coast, that dozens of boarding houses and sanatoriums are located.
The beach season in Sochi lasts from May to mid-October. Sunny weather lasts 300 days a year. Favorable mineral springs and mud have a healing and therapeutic effect on a person. Sanatoriums accept those who wish throughout the year.
The nature of this region is unique and inimitable: mountain gorges with turbulent rivers, waterfalls and caves, cold lakes, impenetrable forests and high-altitude ski slopes. These places attract lovers of outdoor activities and extreme sports.
Sochi is famous not only for beach holidays, but also for cultural attractions. There are many museums, theaters, entertainment centers, restaurants and nightclubs.
Yalta
One of the most famous resort cities of Crimea is Yalta. In addition, it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
This is a modern resort of an amazing place called the Black Sea. The map shows that the beaches here are actually huge, with a length of 72 km.
The city is considered the capital of all Crimean resorts and an important administrative, cultural and tourist center on the southern coast of Crimea.
The abundance of sun and vegetation, warm sea and sand, clean air, mountains and a huge number of attractions create favorable conditions for recreation and recovery.
Abkhazia
In fact, it seems that God himself created these places for human rest. The beach season lasts from May to October and you can enjoy the sun 220 days a year.
Sea water is low in salt, clear and ideal for swimming. Tourist Abkhazia is a hospitable people, luxurious nature and many historical monuments.
Guests are waiting for excursions to waterfalls, mineral springs and Lake Ritsa, karst caves and the ruins of the ancient city. The famous resorts of the region are Pitsunda, Gagra, Sukhum and Gudauta.
The tourism industry of Abkhazia is developing rapidly: old boarding houses have been renovated and new comfortable hotels have been built, there are many restaurants and entertainment centers on the streets. One of the popular resort places is the town of Pitsunda, which is surrounded by pine forests that create a special microclimate with a healing coniferous aroma.
Here, even in hot weather, it is fresh and cool. All boarding houses are located in a picturesque bay near the sea.
Section 6. Movement of water in the Black Sea
It is believed that the ports of the Black Sea have a lot of advantages. Let's explain why. Usually this part of the world's oceans is quiet and calm. Waves appear in windy weather, most often in winter. Their height can reach 15 m, which is dangerous only for small ships. The ebbs and flows do not exceed 10 cm and are almost imperceptible.
In general, there are two types of currents in the sea - surface and double. The former are caused by the cyclone type of winds, while the latter are formed in the Bosphorus and Kerch Straits and are caused by the difference in water density in the two basins.
Surface-type flows form two closed rings. The western ring narrows to the south and is about 100 km wide opposite the Danube Delta. The speed of this current is almost 0.5 km/h. The Eastern Ring reaches 50-100 km and has a speed of up to 1 km/h.
The double current in the Bosphorus arises due to the water exchange between the Black and Marmara seas. The lighter and less salty water of the Black Sea enters the Marmara at a speed of up to 2 km, and in return receives the more salty water of the Marmara Sea by the lower course.
Another double current is formed between the Black and Azov Seas. At the same time, the desalinated water of the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov enters the Black Sea upstream, receiving more salty water in return.
In addition to horizontal currents, there are vertical ones limited by the upper layers of water (up to 80 m).
Section 7. Threats of the sea: winds and fogs
The geographical position of the Black Sea clearly indicates that fogs occur over the coast or coastal areas mainly during the cold season. When cold sea air invades land, fog forms over the sea near the coast.
On the coast, it usually appears in the spring. The greatest nebula is observed in winter, especially in the Bosphorus Strait (up to 80 days a year). However, there are prolonged fogs. For example, in winter in Odessa they last up to 10 days. Photos of the Black Sea, taken in such weather, are distinguished by special romanticism and mystery.
The strength and speed of the wind at sea is greater than on the coast. When cyclones appear over the sea, moist air becomes vertically unstable, forming whirlwinds and tornadoes that are dangerous for small craft. The wind speed in winter reaches from 3 to 40 m/sec. Sometimes there are storms. Night winds bring coolness to the coast.
Section 8. What are the dangers of the Black Sea currents
However, the Black Sea can also be insidious and merciless, the characteristics of this section of the world ocean clearly indicate the existence of a changeable current here, directed counterclockwise along the entire perimeter.
The current forms two rings, called "Knipovich glasses" (in honor of the hydrologist who described this phenomenon). The speed of movement depends on the rotation of the Earth. Also, the change in the current is affected by the force and Sometimes in the coastal zones there are eddies directed against the main current (anticyclonic gyres).
The movement of the upper alongshore currents is changeable and is determined by the wind. One of these currents is called traction, which is formed during a storm. Waves running ashore recede in powerful streams along the channels formed on the sandy bottom. Such streams are very dangerous for people and can carry away far from the coast. To get out of them, you need to swim to the shore not in a straight line, but diagonally.
Section 9. Why is the sea rough? ancient legend
The Black Sea on the world map, even on the most ancient one, can be seen very well. That is why, apparently, they have known about him for a long time, adding up myths and retelling epics. And here is one of them.
In ancient times, there lived one brave hero, about whose courage legends were composed. One day, the old magician decided to give him a magic arrow, whose magical power depended on the intentions of a person. Once in the hands of a villain, she could bring a lot of misfortune on earth. The hero never used it unnecessarily and for selfish purposes. Having grown old, he began to look for a person who could be trusted with an arrow. But only a worthy owner could reveal her secret.
Then the hero decided to hide the weapon in the Black Sea and asked his sons to take her to its very middle. He knew that they would not fulfill his order the first time, and sent them again. The sons did the will of their father and lowered the arrow to the bottom of the sea. This angered the sea, it began to make noise and to this day is trying to throw an arrow ashore.
Section 10. Is the Black Sea getting warmer?
Can you tell exactly where the Black Sea is? The map shows that it should be considered the southernmost maritime border of our state. And, of course, it is also the warmest. However, there is an opinion that the temperature in it gradually rises. Is it really?
The Black Sea (the Krasnodar Territory is taken as the basis for the study) is filled with hydrogen sulfide, which means that only coastal and surface layers of water are suitable for life. By the way, because of this, it belongs to one of the most sparsely inhabited seas in the world.
The global warming also negatively affects the ecosystem of the sea, which has led to an increase in air temperature in winter and incomplete cooling of the upper layers of the sea. And this, in turn, complicates the process of vertical rotation of the upper layers of water to a depth to maintain the boundaries of hydrogen sulfide.
Warming has led to the fact that the hydrogen sulfide zone has risen to the surface of the sea by almost 12 meters and these waters have become lifeless. The volume of water enriched with oxygen continues to decrease, which causes concern for environmentalists. So, the Black Sea, whose coordinates are 43 ° 17′49 ″ s. sh. 34°01′46″ in. d. will likely continue to warm.
