It has turned cold here in Georgia. Some places already have snow, but here in Poti we just have rain. The best part of a rain storms is watching the sea the next day. The Black Sea is calm most of the time, but after a storm there are some really amazing waves. I got some nice photos down by the water one day and thought I would share them with you here. The first location is a beach by my house and the second is down by the port at sunset the same day. I've learned a lot about the Black Sea this last week, so I want to give you some information to go with these photos.
At around the depth of 200 m life is impossible in the Black Sea because the oxygen levels are to low.
The Black Sea receives more fresh water then it evaporates.
The Mediterranean Sea is the source of salt water to the Black Sea.
The Black Sea does not have a tide.
The ancient Greeks called it "Euxeinos Pontos"
The 6 countries that border the Black Sea are: Turkey, Georgia, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, and Bulgaria.
I hope you have enjoyed today's lesson on the Black Sea.
