The sea of Azov on the map is a semi-enclosed waters of the Atlantic ocean. The facility is located in the Eastern part of Europe. The two countries have on their territory of the Azov sea - Ukraine and Russia.

General information

The sea of Azov is considered the smallest in the world. Its maximum depth – not more than thirteen and a half meters, and the average (according to various estimates) – within a 6.8–8 m. In the area where the sea of Azov, are other objects that connect the waters of the Atlantic ocean. Noteworthy among them are the Kerch Straits and Gibraltar, the Bosporus and the Dardanelles. In addition, links are the Mediterranean, Aegean and Black seas. where is the sea of Azov

History

Before, in ancient times, where there is the Azov sea now that there was no water. The filling of the waters allegedly began in 5600 BC At that time, the don river emptying into the Black sea directly in the field current of the Kerch Strait. In the area where the sea of Azov, there are different settlements. The names of many of them went on behalf of the reservoir. For example, the village of Azov and the Azov sea, Azov city, which is located in the lower reaches of the river don, Azov and other.

Name

In ancient times the waters of different nationalities were called differently. It should be said that the sea was renamed enough times. To date has not established the exact origin of the name. There are several hypotheses on the etymology of the original word "Azov"

  • In the name of the Prince of Azuma, who was killed in 1067;
  • The name of the tribe "assy", which, in turn, presumably occurred from the Avesta, and means "fast";
  • According to Circassian "usew", which means "neck";
  • According to the Turkic word "azan" – "lower".

Even back in the first century BC in the writings of Pliny, enumerating the Scythian tribes, says the settlement of "Asoka". The name is similar to the word "Azov". It is believed that the modern name of the waters was used in Russian toponyms from the beginning of the 17th century, thanks to the chronicler Pimen. It should be noted that originally, the name was all the sea of Azov (on the map of Russia not far from the one named, is today the city of Taganrog). And only to the 2nd half of the 18th century, the name was fixed for the whole area. sea of Azov on the map of Russia

Research

The History of the study region, where the sea of Azov, conventionally divided into several stages.

  1. Geographical (ancient), which lasted from the time of Herodotus to the beginning of the 19th century.
  2. Geology and geography. It lasted from the 19th century until 40-ies of the 20th century.
  3. Integrated. This period began in the mid-20th century and continues to this day.

Claudius Ptolemy produced the first map of the coast of the Azov sea. Ukraine as such did not exist, and the position of the dam relative to other objects was not quite clear. Ptolemy established the first geographic coordinates for the mouths of rivers, towns, bays and capes. Subsequently, Gleb svyatoslavovych, who ruled in the year 1068 in the middle of nowhere, on the ice, measure the distance from Kerch to Taman. It was at that time approximately 20 kilometers. Already from the 12th-14th centuries the Venetians and Genoese began to make maps and charts of the Azov and Black seas. sea of Azov Russian

Geographical position

Area where the sea of Azov, lies between 45°12′30″ and 47°17′30″ with. W. and 33°38′ 39°18′ V. D. the Maximum length of the reservoir is 380 miles, and the width – 200 kilometers. The coastline has a length of 2686 km, the surface water area covers an area of 37 800 sq. km (this figure does not include braids and Islands, which are spread on the territory of 107,9 sq km). In accordance with the morphological signs of the object is classified as flat seas. Body of water is considered shallow, with low slopes of the banks. The sea of Azov (on the map of Russia is clearly visible) is quite removed from the ocean. In this context the object belongs to the group of continental waters. In winter the sea of Azov can be partially or completely freeze. The ice that is imposed on the Kerch Strait. Usually the formation of ice starts in January. In cold years, it can occur a month earlier. sea of Azov Ukraina

Bathymetry

The Location of the sea of Azov, has a relatively simple underwater topography. In the course of removal from the shore is a smooth and slow increase of depth. In the Central part of the water area, they reach 13 meters. Here the maximum depth. The location of the isobaths close to symmetrical, violates their small elongation towards the North-East to the Gulf of Taganrog. Approximately two kilometers from the coast is izobata 5 meters. It is removed from the Taganrog Bay and near the mouth of the don river. In this area the depth increases toward the open part of the reservoir. On the border of the sea and the Gulf they reach eight or nine metres. The bottom topography is characterized by the presence of systems of the seamounts. They stretched along the West (banks Arabat and Maritime) and Eastern (Zhelezinka Bank) coasts. Depth over them is reduced from 8-9 to three to five meters. Coastal underwater slope on the Northern coast typicalwide enough shallow water. Here the depth of 6-7 m. the southern coast is characterized by steep underwater slope. Depths in this area – 11-13 meters. The sea generally sandy and flat. In the southern sector, however, it is possible to meet the hills of volcanic origin, and sometimes passing into the cutting-edge of a steep mountain.

The catchment Area in the basin is approximately 586 000 sq. km of Flow-dependent strong winds blowing North-East and South-West directions. The main movement occurs along the coast. Its direction back to clockwise.map of the coast of the sea of Azov Ukraina

Temperature mode

For the shallow waters characterized by a large seasonal variability of temperatures. Winter values reach a minimum. In the January-February values close to the freezing point. In the southern part of the reservoir, near the Kerch Strait, the column of the thermometer rises above zero. The amplitude of temperature in the year – +27,5…+28.5 degrees. In the summer across the sea surface are observed fairly uniform metrics – from +24 to +26 degrees. In July in some areas (like Crimea) Azov sea is warming to a maximum of +28... +28.5 degrees. The highest temperature was recorded in the Primorsko-Akhtarsk. It was +32.5 degrees. As for the longstanding annual average temperature on the surface she is between 11 °C. Interannual fluctuations in this case are of the order of one degree. Crimea the sea of Azov

Salinity

The sea of Azov has a hydrochemical characteristics. They are formed mainly under the influence of rich river inflow (about 12% of the total volume of water). In addition, it has some difficult water exchange with the Black sea. Before regulation of the don considered the salinity of the pond was lower than that of the ocean. three times. Indicators varied from 1 ppm in the mouth of the river to 10.5 in the Central part and up to 11.5 in the area of the Kerch Strait. The salinity of the Azov sea began to rise after the construction of the Tsimlyansk hydroelectric station. By 1977, the average increased to 13.8 ppm, in the Taganrog Bay of the figures were slightly below & ndash; and 11.2. During relatively high moisture content, there was a rapid decrease in salinity. It was in that period 10,9 ‰. However, by 2000, the figures rose again, stabilized in 11 ‰. It should be said that in the Northern part of the reservoir there is little salt, unlike the plot, which is adjacent to Crimea. The sea of Azov (map showing the location of the object that is represented below) this area is rich samostojni salt. It was mined in ancient time. Until the end of the 19th century, the salt from this area to ensure the needs of Russia practically in half. The highest values of salinity of the water reaches in the solution – the brine of the Sivash and other lakes. This is due to intense evaporation from the water surface in summer. All of these hypersaline areas represent major renewable deposits of mineral salts, which are known to the sea of Azov. Russia, having these objects, provides a significant amount of this mineral. Because of the connection with the sea, the brine is similar to the structure of sea water. Mainly in the brine contains sulphates and chlorides of magnesium and sodium. Crimea Azov sea map

Water

The sea of Azov is characterized by low transparency. In every season and in various regions it is different. The indicators range from 0.5 to 8 meters. Low transparency is caused mainly by the arrival of a large number of river muddy water at a fairly rapid resuspension of bottom silts during the agitation of the water, and presence in the pond planktonic masses. The lowest rates are observed in the Taganrog Bay. Transparency is in the range of 0.5-0.9, in rare cases – 2 metres. The water in this area can change its color from greenish-yellow to brownish-yellow. In the Central part of the reservoir due to large depths and under the influence of the black sea currents transparency can be from a half to two and a half to eight feet. Here, the water has a greenish-blue color. Almost everywhere in the summer there is an increase in transparency. And in some areas due to the rapid development of tiny animal and plant organisms in the upper layers of the indicators fall to zero. And the water becomes a bright green color. This phenomenon is called "blooming sea".
