Feketetenger

Feketetenger is a Hungarian term that translates to "Black Sea" in English. It refers to the large body of water located between Eastern Europe and Western Asia. The Black Sea is connected to the Mediterranean Sea by the Bosporus Strait, which is a narrow, natural strait. It is also connected to the Sea of Azov by the Strait of Kerch. The major rivers that flow into the Black Sea include the Danube, Dnieper, and Don rivers.

The Black Sea has a unique geographical and ecological characteristic. It is a meromictic basin, meaning its water layers do not mix. The deeper waters are anoxic, containing high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide, which prevents most marine life from surviving at these depths. This anoxic layer is a result of limited water exchange with the oxygen-rich Mediterranean Sea.

Historically, the Black Sea has been a significant waterway for trade and cultural exchange, linking various civilizations and empires. Its coastlines are home to several countries, including Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, and Georgia. The region surrounding the Black Sea is known for its diverse landscapes, ranging from coastal plains to mountainous areas. The economy of the coastal regions is often dependent on fishing, tourism, and shipping.
