ABOUT BLACK SEA
Sea between Europe and Asia. Bordered by Ukraine, Russia, Georgia, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Romania, it occupies an area of about 465,000 sq km and has a maximum depth of 2,210 m. It is connected with the Aegean Sea through the Bosporus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles, and with the Sea of Azov by Kerch Strait.
The Black Sea catchment area is about 2 500 000 sq. km. with rivers from two continents - Europe and Asia. The Black Sea is a typical inner sea. Created when structural upheavals in Asia Minor split off the Caspian basin from the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea gradually became isolated.
The total Black Sea coastline is 4090 km.
The Black Sea climate is characterized with not very cold winter and comparatively hot summer with many sunny days.
While all oceans and most seas have almost the same high salt content (35‰), which of the Black Sea is two times lower (18‰). The high and low tides in the Black Sea are insignificant. Тhe Black Sea water has a distinct two layer structure: upper, containing oxygen from the surface to the depth of 200 m, and lower, under 200 m, in which there is not oxygen but sulphuretted hydrogen instead. There isn't another sea with similar existence of water layers on the Earth.
