The Black Sea is an inland sea between southeastern Europe and the Anatolian peninsula (Turkey) and is ultimately connected to the Atlantic Ocean via the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas and various straits. The Euxine abyssal plain in the centre of the Black Sea reaches a maximum depth of 2,206 m (7,240 ft) just south of Yalta on the Crimean peninsula. The steppes to the north of the Black Sea have been suggested as the original homeland (Urheimat) of the speakers of the Proto-Indo-European language, (PIE) the progenitor of the Indo-European language family, by some scholars (see Kurgan; others move the heartland further east towards the Caspian Sea, yet others to Anatolia).
Many big rivers fall into the Black Sea, making the salinity of its surface water half that of the ocean: 17. The Black Sea marine life is full of wonders, starting right at the surfline. The ecosystem of the Black Sea quickly responds to external influences, both to the natural ones, like environmental factors fluctuations, or anthropogenic effects, like fisheries, construction works in the coastal zone, and all kinds of marine pollution. These are just a few facts that point to the dramatic role that Turkey and its Black Sea shores have played in world history. Russia's only deep-water port on the Black Sea is at Novorrossijsk. The rocky Black Sea bays are ideal for scuba diving, and there are many centres along the coast.
The temperature of the sea water is already 20C and along the southern part of the Black sea coast is expected to become even higher in July. Based on these data, a set of maps showing climatic oceanography of the Black Sea (temperature and salinity for each months and each season for 20 standard depths) as well as major water masses of the Black Sea were incorporated in the system. But even in that climate the Black Sea area was wellknown for its developed trade relations and contacts.
Bulgaria
One Bulgarian understanding of the name is that the sea used to be quite stormy. The third national exhibition from Bulgaria's treasures sequence, named Gods, people and masks will be officially opened tomorrow in the Regional historical museum in Varna, Bulgaria, informs Darik radio. This small Romanian village close to the Bulgarian border has been a counter-cultural oasis since the days of communism when it was (somewhat uncharacteristically) tolerated by Ceausescu as a hangout for intellectuals.
The popularity of the Bulgarian coast and sea resorts has seen a robust growth in recent years, following the fall of communism and the opening of borders to foreign tourists. It is bordered by Ukraine to the north,Russia to the northeast, Georgia to the east, Turkey to the south, and Bulgariaand Romania to the west.
