Presentation "Black Sea". This is our beautiful sea the name of the sea in antiquity. a legend is known: when the brave Greek sailors sailed into the Black Sea, it met them. Presentation of my trips to the Black Sea

The names of the sea in antiquity. There is a legend: when the brave Greek sailors sailed into the Black Sea, it met them with a storm, scattered their ships, and the surviving ships "got away." Then the Greeks called our sea "Pont Aksinsky" (Inhospitable Sea). Later, the Greeks built powerful ships, crossed the sea and founded on the shores Greek colonies- cities. At this time, the name of the sea "Pont Euxinus" (Hospitable Sea) appeared on Greek maps and in Greek sailing directions.


Why is the Black Sea so called? So the first version of "black" - northern, uncomfortable. There are two more interesting versions. One is connected with the main feature of our sea: the presence of a dissolved poisonous gas, hydrogen sulfide, in the sea. There is a huge amount of hydrogen sulfide in sea water. It saturates the depths of the sea, deprives them of life, therefore only special sulfur bacteria live at the depths, which restore the sulfates contained in sea water and turn them into hydrogen sulfide and bicarbonates. Hydrogen sulfide is easily oxidized, so if you lower some metal object to a depth and then pull it to the surface, the object will be covered with a black coating.










The Black Sea is deep. Some authors indicate that the depth reaches 2211 m, others that m. Greatest depth, as can be seen on the map - off the coast of Turkey in the Sinop depression. The average depth of the sea m. Average level. Approximately equal to the level of the world ocean. Increases by cm per 100 years. The eastern coast of the Black Sea goes steeply into the depths.


Square, pool of the sea. The surface area of ​​the Black Sea is approximately square kilometers (in some sources, sq. km). The basin of the sea is the territory from which all the precipitated waters enter this sea.


The Black Sea is huge! It washes the shores of Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Georgia. The Black Sea is fraught with great wealth. At present, about 60 chemical elements. These are iodine, bromine, radium, silver, gold, etc. True, they are contained in very small quantities. So, for example, silver in total accounts for 1 milligram per ton sea ​​water. But if all the silver in the water of the Black Sea were to be extracted, it would amount to tons. The riches of the Black Sea also include plants and animals that inhabit it.


The coastal zone of the sea is a shelf, depth up to m is composed of pebbles, gravel, fragments of shells, sand and dust particles - silt. At a depth of m it is covered with clayey and calcareous silts. In the northwestern part of the sea, the shelf is up to 200 km wide; in the rest of the sea, the shelf is much narrower, from 1 to 10 km. Against the mouths of large mountain rivers underwater ravines-canyons run from the shore into the sea. They are trying to use the shelf for the extraction of sand and pebbles! According to experts, sand mining in the area of ​​the Black Sea shelf will lead not only to the degradation of bottom biocenoses, but also to a decrease in fish stocks.


Islands of the Black Sea The shores of the Black Sea are slightly indented: there are few bays and bays. The Black Sea is almost devoid of islands. There are only three of them: Fidonisi (aka Serpentine), located opposite the mouth of the Danube. Berezan ( locals they call it Schmidt Island in memory of Lieutenant Schmidt, the heroic leader of the uprising of the Black Sea sailors, who was shot by the tsarist government on this island), located between the entrances to the Berezansky and Dnieper-Bugskip estuaries; Kefken, which is located 92 km east of the Bosphorus, north of Cape Kefken.


Peninsulas Let's note two peninsulas - Crimean and Taman. The Black Sea is closely connected with the Sea of ​​Azov by the Kerch Strait. (The Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov is 10 times smaller in area, and in depth it reaches only 14 m. Therefore, earlier the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov was called the Meotian swamp and was considered the bay of the Black Sea.)


States on the shores of the Black Sea The shores of the Black Sea belong to seven states: Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Georgia and Abkhazia. These states united in efforts to keep the Black Sea clean. Coastal residents need to make efforts to prevent pollution of the Black Sea.


The volume of water in the Black Sea is more than 547 thousand cubic kilometers Of the total volume of water, only 13% is saturated with oxygen - this is a surface layer a m thick, the rest of the water is saturated with poisonous gas - hydrogen sulfide. Nevertheless, the Black Sea is inhabited by no less species of animals, plants, algae and fungi.


Two-layer is a feature of the Black Sea. In the Black Sea, active water exchange occurs only to a depth of m. Deeper, the entire volume of water is poisoned by hydrogen sulfide. Total hydrogen sulfide is billion tons and in the last 1 - 2 thousand years remains approximately constant, because. in parallel with the formation of hydrogen sulfide in the depths, hydrogen sulfide is oxidized by bacteria. The content of hydrogen sulfide at a depth of 150 m is determined at 0.19 mg per liter of sea water, at a depth of 200 m - 0.83 mg, and at a depth of 2000 m - already 9.6 mg (increases 50 times). Deep hydrogen sulfide was formed 7-8 thousand years ago after an earthquake that opened access salt water Mediterranean Sea to an ancient freshwater lake, which was in those days on the site of the Black Sea. It caused doom a large number freshwater organisms. And the decomposition of the remains created hydrogen sulfide (relict). Hydrogen sulfide in the Black Sea was discovered by the expedition of geologist N. Andrusov in 1890. In addition, hydrogen sulfide is constantly formed in the sea due to the decomposition of organic remains carried into the sea by rivers. This process is called "eutrophication".




Residents of the Black Sea! About 130 species of fish are found in the Black Sea. There are flounder, herring, anchovy, tyulka, mullet, horse mackerel, mackerel, etc. Of the birds, there are gulls, petrels and other birds. Oysters, mussels, a predatory mollusk - rapana live at the bottom of the Black Sea, crabs huddle in the crevices of coastal rocks, and many jellyfish are found. They can predict the approach of a storm by their behavior. There are resorts on the Black Sea coast where thousands of children and adults improve their health. These are sanatoriums, boarding houses, tourist bases, children's recreation centers. We see that the Black Sea is of great benefit to man. Does a person always treat him with care? Is it possible to destroy the wealth that we take from the sea?





October 31 - International Black Sea Day International Black Sea Day is celebrated in memory of October 31, 1996, when the six Black Sea countries of Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Russia and Ukraine signed the Strategic Action Plan for the rehabilitation and protection of the Black Sea. This Plan was developed after extensive research marine environment, which showed that the viability of the Black Sea marine environment has deteriorated significantly compared to the previous three decades. To international day The Black Sea is dedicated to actions aimed at preserving the unique ecosystem of the Black Sea, drawing attention to problems and finding ways to solve the most acute of them. In all cities of the Black Sea coast, regional centers are held environmental actions, round tables, competitions and other events aimed at the formation public opinion in the protection of the sea, in the education of the ecological culture of the population.






Action leaflet GIVE THE BLACK SEA A PROMISE I will: take all my rubbish with me after visiting the beach; save water in any business affairs; eliminate water leaks in your apartment; plant trees, shrubs and flowers around your home, school and in public places; tell my neighbors and acquaintances how to take care of plants, how useful plants are and how plants filter water before it goes into the sea, use a shopping bag when I go shopping, so as not to use packaging bags that litter nature, buy products with less packaging, pour out oil, paints and chemicals so that they do not get into the water; carry out environmental actions to protect the Black Sea: clean up garbage on the beaches and along the river banks so that garbage does not pollute the sea, draw posters in defense of the sea and its inhabitants, participate in exhibitions of such posters, hold talks, quizzes, holidays to educate everyone around love for the sea.


Story international cooperation to save the Black Sea By the beginning of 1990, the state of the Black Sea ecological system was determined by experts as critical. In 1992, the first World Conference on Environment and Development was held in Rio de Janeiro. At this meeting international community came to a consensus that for the sake of future generations of people economic activity of all countries should be accompanied by appropriate measures to protect natural environment and protecting fragile ecosystems from degradation and threats complete disappearance. The Black Sea region became the first where the course towards protection environment received further development: In April 1992, the Convention for the Protection of the Black Sea from Pollution was adopted in Bucharest. Global Ecological Fund, the European Union and other donors have allocated $17 million for the implementation of the Black Sea Environmental Program (ChEP). The headquarters of the CEP is located in Istanbul, Business Centers have been created in each of the 6 Black Sea countries, their specialization has been determined.




In cities Black Sea coast It has already become a tradition for many residents to celebrate October 31st as International Black Sea Day. On this day, environmental subbotniks are held to clean the seashore from garbage. Besides, Special attention is given to work with children, for whom lectures, exhibitions and drawing competitions are held. Divers picked up garbage from the bottom of the sea and showed it to schoolchildren.

History of the Black Sea Each sea, like each person, has its own image, character, habits, and finally, history. The Black Sea has much to be proud of. Over millions of years, it has repeatedly changed its appearance: it became either a lake or a sea. And it all started like this ... *

History of the Black Sea Tens of millions of years ago, in the area of ​​the modern seas of the Mediterranean, Marmara, Black, Azov, Caspian and Aral, the bay of the ancient huge Tetis Sea stretched. *

History of the Black Sea The bay consisted of two parts, western and eastern. The western part was salty, and the eastern part was desalinated, since many rivers flowed into it. Terrible, monstrous prehistoric fish and lizards reigned in its depths. *

5 slide

The history of the Black Sea in diagrams * As a result of the formation of giant mountain ranges, the Tethys Ocean broke up. On the site of the current Black Sea, a closed, freshwater Sarmatian Sea-lake was formed, and it was during this period that freshwater flora and fauna formed in it, the remains of which have survived to this day. Crimea and the Caucasus were islands in the Sarmatian Sea. Later, a connection with the ocean reappeared, the salty Meotic Sea formed, it was inhabited by marine animals and plants; at that time there were even huge whales here - now paleontologists dig up their skeletons, etc.

History of the Black Sea Last modified sea ​​occurred about 8 thousand years ago and was catastrophic. The strongest earthquake split the land. The modern Bosphorus arose. *

History of the Black Sea Huge masses of salty Mediterranean water rushed into the Black Sea basin, causing the death of a huge number of freshwater inhabitants. So many of them died that the decomposition of the remains of their organisms in the depths of the sea, devoid of oxygen, created the initial supply of hydrogen sulfide, which continues to exist to this day. The Black Sea became the "Sea of ​​the Dead Depths". * Map of the Black Sea 1590

The history of the Black Sea Historians believe that this whole cataclysm took place before the eyes of a person who lived here. Are these events flood? After all, as you know, Noah moored his ark to Caucasian mountain Ararat, which then could well look like an island in a raging stream at the confluence of two seas. *

recent history Black Sea * Now nature has taken a time out. There is only a very slow uplift of the mountains surrounding the sea - a few centimeters per century. The mountains are growing, but the sea is advancing. Moreover, it comes faster than mountains rise - 20-25 centimeters per century. It would seem a little, but the ancient cities of Taman have already disappeared at the bottom of the sea.

Why is the sea called Black? * Exists whole line hypotheses regarding the reasons for the emergence of such a name: the Turks and other conquerors who tried to conquer the population of the sea coast met a fierce rebuff from the Circassians, Adyghes and other tribes, for which they called the Karadengiz sea - Black, inhospitable.

13 slide

Why is the sea called Black? * Another reason, according to some researchers, may be the fact that during storms the water in the sea becomes very dark. However, storms in the Black Sea are not very frequent, and the water darkens during storms in all the seas of the earth.

14 slide

Why is the sea called Black? * Another hypothesis of the origin of the name is based on the fact that metal objects (for example, anchors) lowered into the sea water deeper than 150 meters long time, covered with a black coating due to the action of hydrogen sulfide.

15 slide

Why is the sea called Black? * One of the most common hypotheses is the assumption that the name is associated with memories of the breakthrough of the Bosphorus 7500-5000 years ago, which resulted in a catastrophic rise in sea level by almost 100 meters, which in turn led to the flooding of a vast shelf zone and the formation Sea of ​​Azov.

16 slide

Why is the sea called Black? * Exists Turkish legend, according to which a heroic sword rests in the waters of the Black Sea, which was thrown there at the request of the dying wizard Ali. Because of this, the sea is worried, trying to splash out of its depths deadly weapon and is dyed black.

Black Sea

and its inhabitants


The Black Sea is located in the depths of the Eurasia continent and is inland sea basin of the Atlantic Ocean. The average depth of the Black Sea is 1300 m, and the maximum depth reaches 2211 m. The area is 422 thousand sq. km. The waters of the Black Sea wash the shores of many states: Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania and Georgia. The salinity of the water in the Black Sea is much lower than in other seas.



Not a single sea on Earth has a depth division into two zones - oxygen (up to a depth of 150-200 m) and lifeless hydrogen sulfide (below 200 m), occupying 87% of its water mass. At the disposal of animals and plants is only 13% of the volume of water.
