Useful properties of sea water for adults and children. Black Sea or Sea of ​​Azov? Where to go to rest

The season of holidays and vacations begins, it's time to look for a place to relax)) In the summer, of course, I want to go to the sea. The Black and Azov Seas are the closest seas to us in which you can swim. Which sea is better - Black or Azov? To answer this difficult question, I want to take you on a short correspondence tour))
***
Let's start with the Black Sea. Its coastline is very diverse.

I will describe the places where I managed to visit.
1. Adler.
This photo shows a fragment of the Adler beach. What can I say about this resort, based on my own many years of experience here:
-Near the pier there is a place where sewer pipes spill their contents into the sea. You should swim away from this place if you want to protect yourself from an intestinal or rotavirus infection.
-Not the best option for those who can't swim. The bottom goes down sharply and the depth comes. Waves hit stones on your legs when you enter the water.
-The beaches are narrow, cramped, lying on the rocks is not convenient.

2. And this is a beach in Sochi (rare desertedness - in March). Large and very beautiful city-resort.

There are plenty of entertainment and places worth visiting: the port, the Arboretum, an amusement park, the Olympic Village, river rafting, waterfalls, nightclubs. From the abundance of impressions just dizzy!
+ Rest in Sochi is perfect for those who love drive, active pastime, adventures, parties, i.e. for young people.
- Sochi - not the best place for holidays with small children (at least because of crowded beaches where towels and rugs lie close to each other).
- everything is expensive (housing, food, and entertainment).
- The sea often storms.

3. Anapa is not only a city of military glory with a centuries-old history, but also a wonderful children's resort. There are many children here health camps and entertainment for kids. We were delighted with the Dolphinarium "Nemo". Fascinating and touching...

What I don't like about Anapa:
- high crowding of people
- algae bloom in August, which makes it unpleasant to enter the sea.

4. Not far from Anapa is the village of Sukko.

A classic resort village on the Black Sea coast with picturesque landscapes.

There are also a lot of people. Housing here is mostly private, it takes about 20 minutes to go to the sea on average.

Near the sea - children's camps. Often held large-scale events and performances for children at the stadium.

There is a market, a cafe, a pharmacy.
I love sunsets at sea...

5. From here, a stone's throw to the village Big Utrish. Can be reached on foot.

There is a diving center here.

Lighthouse-monument to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War.

During the high season, there are sooo many people on the beach.

Umbrellas are paid, sunbeds are paid. And if a shadow from a paid stationary umbrella accidentally falls on your rug, they will come to you and ask you to move!

Housing here is unrealistically far from the beach. And the fact that right on the beach is unrealistically expensive. To get to the beach, you will have to walk at least a kilometer with a child and bags in your arms (this is at least 40 minutes in the sun along the estuary).

There are many cafes and canteens for every budget and taste. We have never been poisoned. But the service in stores at the level of the Soviet Union ((((

7. Olginka is the birthplace of children's camps, departmental boarding houses and sanatoriums. Without further ado, make your own impression of her from the photo. Paid beach(100 rubles per person per day).

And this is a free beach:

Even the air in this place is considered especially useful thanks to pine forests.

Rest on the Black Sea is useful and interesting. Just do not advise buying food on the beach, so as not to get poisoned.

***
Rest on the Sea of ​​Azov is calmer than on the Black Sea.

Even the most major resort on the Sea of ​​Azov in the Krasnodar Territory - this is just a village (Golubitskaya).

There is a dolphinarium and a crocodile farm here.

Between the village of Golubitskaya and the village of Peresyp there are many car campings - this is the most budgetary type of recreation. But it's not even about the money, people come here for enough expensive cars. Probably, there is a special romance in the rest of the sea in a tent ...
The main attraction in the village of Kuchugury is a healing mud volcano.
The village of Ilyich is for those who love a quiet, secluded vacation. There are no discos, banana rides, scooters, tablets and other attractions. However, there are no canteens, cafes and doctors.

*I also want to note that the water in the Black Sea is saltier, but also colder than in the Sea of ​​Azov.

*In any locality on the coast and the Black and Azov Seas, you can find housing of any price category: from bases with plywood houses and amenities on the territory to premium hotels with a swimming pool, animation and a buffet.

Whatever you choose - it's always good to relax on the sea!)))

Black Sea, Sea of ​​​​Azov ... I studied the similarities and differences between them on vacation. Not so long ago, summer began, and I already managed to return from vacation. Since I have been living on the Black Sea for many years, and more specifically, I went to rest on the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov in the city of Yeysk.

I liked the city right away. He slightly reminded me of Adler about twenty years ago: you go to the sea along a quiet street, picking cherries and mulberries as you go. Nobody scolds. Beauty! Once upon a time, on our way to the sea, it was possible to pinch off a fig, medlar or a bunch of grapes. And here you can even meet a goat. 🙂

But this is where the similarity ends. For example, private houses in Adler are, albeit sometimes chic, but just houses. In Yeysk, many houses cannot be called anything other than a historical heritage. The city has kept a large number of merchant houses of the 19th century: with porches, turrets, folding kokoshniks and other similar things.

I don’t want to scare lovers of modern architecture: there are also enough new microdistricts with multi-storey buildings in Yeysk.

I cannot remain silent about two more things that shocked me in Yeysk. First, everyone sits in Yeysk minibuses. The driver takes in the minibus exactly as many people as he has seats. That is, you do not hang between heaven and earth as in the Sochi minibuses, but calmly look at the beloved city through the window. The second is even more incredible. Remember Mikhail Zadornov: “Now take more air into your chest ...”? So - dial - they have no traffic jams! None. Never. At all.

And now, the promised 10 differences. Of course, I cannot judge everything about the Black Sea or Azov coast. I judge the sea in two cities - Yeysk and Sochi.

Black Sea. Sea of ​​Azov

1. ☼ The beaches in Yeysk are golden white. This color is given to them by sand and small pieces of shells, resulting from many years of destruction of shells by waves.

☼ In Sochi, the beaches are mostly pebbly and rocky, in some places there are inserts of sand. This sand is called silvery, but, in my opinion, it is loudly said: ordinary gray sand.

2 . ☼ Water in the Black Sea on a fine day has a color from blue to cobalt blue. This is due to the fact that sea water absorbs blue and violet rays of the spectrum to a lesser extent than red and orange.

☼ When the sea is shallow, along with blue and purple, red and orange rays are also reflected. It turns out green. Therefore, the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov is greenish. The richly developed phytoplankton also adds greenery to the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov.

3. ☼ However, the water in the Sea of ​​Azov is not entirely green. Rather greenish-yellow, and during the wind - the color of coffee with milk. The color is caused by the resuspension of bottom silts and sand particles. The Sea of ​​Azov is muddy. Its transparency ranges from 0.5 to 8 m.

☼ The Black Sea is much more transparent. For comparison, the maximum recorded transparency of the Black Sea was 77 m. Unfortunately, this was not in Sochi, but near the Synod.

4. ☼ Turbidity Sea of ​​Azov especially upsets no one, since the dirt responsible for this turbidity has a beneficial effect on the human body. On the beaches of Azov there are many "black" people, smeared from head to toe with healing mud.

☼ On the Black Sea coast there are "little blacks" of a different kind: African students moonlighting as Papuans.

5. ☼ The Sea of ​​Azov is the smallest sea in the world. His average depth 8 meters. But I did not manage to reach these 8 meters. You go, you go, and the water is all up to your waist.

☼ The greatest depth of the Black Sea is 2212 m.

6. ☼ Because of the shallow depth, the Sea of ​​Azov warms up faster than the Black Sea.

☼ When I left, at the beginning of June, the water in the Black Sea was still cool, and in the Sea of ​​Azov - just what you need.

7. ☼ Another advantage of shallow water is safety. Almost 90% of vacationers on the Sea of ​​Azov are parents or grandmothers with children.

☼ On the Black Sea, the contingent of vacationers is much wider. Everyone rests here, including the conductors and builders of Olympstroy who “ran in for a minute”.

8. ☼ If lambs begin on the Black Sea, you can't get away from them.

☼ Yeysk is located on the spit. There you can move from one side of the spit to the other, from beach to beach: the direction of the wind will change, the lambs will disappear.

9 . ☼ The water in the Sea of ​​Azov is almost not salty. Tried it myself. 🙂

☼ In the Black Sea, the water is saltier and smells of iodine.

10. I have not been to the Sea of ​​Azov in winter. But I must have item number 10!

☼ The Sea of ​​Azov freezes in winter.

☼ The Black Sea never freezes.

Here you go. I told everything I saw. And you choose for yourself where to go: Black Sea or Azov.

All seas the globe are considered one large component of the oceans. They are interconnected in a single network, having their own individual characteristics, the main of which is their geographical location. All factors of influence directly affect the animal and plant world.

Choosing the warmest sea, four main ones can be distinguished, with the highest water temperature year-round:

The warmest place in the world is the Red Sea. A tropical, desert climate prevails along the entire coast. average temperature water: +27º in summer, +20º in winter. The sea is located between Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.

The Red Sea is the warmest and saltiest - 40g of salt per 1 liter of water. There is a unique place in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait - where this sea connects with Indian Ocean. In this place, the waters do not mix due to varying degrees of salinity.

A great place to relax with stunning scenery and colorful underwater world. The water in these places is always crystal clear and transparent. The peculiarity of this phenomenon is that not a single river flows into the Red Sea, which brings silt, sand and mud into the water.

It got its name due to its location among the lands. It is the largest among all the seas of the world. This sea is considered intercontinental, connected to the Atlantic Ocean, through the Strait of Gibraltar.

Large evaporation of water and a high concentration of salt raises the sea temperature to 39.5º. It washes the shores of three continents - Europe, Asia and Africa.

IN ancient world The Mediterranean Sea had other names: the Romans called it the "Inland Sea", the Phoenicians - the "Great Sea of ​​Sunset", the Greeks did not have a single name, they considered it as an association of separate seas. The only sea that includes 10 separate seas.

The climate is predominantly Mediterranean - warm winter and hot summer. The coast is popular for its amazing beauty and the calmness of the sea, but sometimes hurricanes, strong winds and heavy rains can rage here.

Dead Sea mud is widely used in cosmetology and medicine in the form of masks, creams.

It helps to relieve stress, get rid of regular migraines, joint pain, strengthen the immune system. Due to the large amount of salt, it is almost impossible to drown in the water, the average water temperature all year round is +24º and above. This allows you to receive tourists all year round.

Such clean air, saturated with oxygen, is not found in any resort in the world.

The warmest seas in Russia

The entire territory of Russia is washed by 13 seas. Among all the most warm seas considered - Black and Azov.

The Black Sea - the ancient Greek name "Inhospitable Sea", received because of the impregnable coast. After the settlement of the shores by Greek colonists, the name changed "Hospitable Sea".

The coast has a subtropical climate, moderated by the sea - hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. For this area, winter period, northeasterly winds are characteristic, bringing significant cooling. The average water temperature is + 25-26º in summer, 0 - + 7º in winter.

Length resort area along the coast about 145 km. main feature Black Sea - the absence of any animal world at a depth of 200m, the reason for this phenomenon is that the water at this depth is highly saturated with hydrogen sulfide.

The salinity of the water in the sea is of medium degree, the composition includes all vital minerals and trace elements.

The Black Sea occupies significant place V transportation between continents. Don't forget the military strategic importance- The main military bases of the Russian Black Sea Fleet are located in Sevastopol and Novorossiysk.

Families with small children prefer these places for recreation. The sea is shallow and small, it warms up very quickly, due to the lack of mountainous terrain, the weather is always good and there are no storms.

Almost the entire coast is dotted with sanatoriums, boarding houses, recreation centers, but they are all practically empty. For this reason, you can enjoy relaxing holiday at an affordable price for you.

Comparison of the seas

When choosing the best sea for recreation, one can note the positive and negative sides of several seas.

Advantages - considered the cleanest and most useful. Sea water has a beneficial effect on the entire body, cleanses it and rejuvenates it. The high concentration of salt in the air protects the skin from ultraviolet rays It's almost impossible to get sunburnt.

Rest on the sea has a beneficial effect on the state of the body and improves mood. Especially if you swim in a warm and clean water. Today there are many seas on Earth, but the Red Sea is still considered the warmest of them.

Geography of the Red Sea

The Red Sea, formed almost 40 million years ago, is located between Africa and Asia. It is the coast of such countries as Egypt, Sudan, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Djibouti. Its area is approximately 450 thousand square kilometers, and most of the water is in the tropical zone. The maximum depth of the Red Sea, according to various estimates, reaches from 2600 to 3000 meters.

Water temperature in the Red Sea

It is not for nothing that this sea is called the warmest on earth. On its coast, apart from extreme north, a tropical desert climate reigns. In the summer months, the air temperature in the coastal zone often reaches 50°C above zero, and in winter it rarely drops below +25°C.

It is not surprising that the water in the Red Sea in summer resembles fresh milk - its temperature reaches + 27 ° C. In winter, of course, it cools down, but even at this time of the year you can swim in it, since its temperature does not drop below + 20 ° C. That is why most of the resorts located on the Red Sea are open to holidaymakers all year round.

In addition to warmth, the Red Sea is famous for its crystal clear and clear waters. This is due to the fact that not a single river flows into it, which could bring silt with it. In addition, this sea is also one of the most saline - the concentration of salt in it per 1 liter of water is 41 grams, while in the Black Sea, for example, this figure does not exceed 18 grams.

During the year, only 100 mm of precipitation falls on the territory of the Red Sea, and 20 times more evaporates during the same time. The lack of water is compensated by the Gulf of Aden and special currents that bring in 1,000 cubic meters of water more than they take out.

Flora and fauna of the Red Sea

The waters of the Red Sea have long attracted diving enthusiasts. Which, however, is not surprising, because in terms of the number and diversity of representatives of flora and fauna, it is in first place in the northern hemisphere. Unusual, bright and very beautiful Coral reefs stretched along the entire Egyptian coast, becoming a kind of vital center, around which schools of fish are found. The color of corals in the Red Sea varies from blue to light yellow and red.

In the waters of this sea you can meet killer whales, dolphins, green turtles and unusual echinoderm sea cucumbers. Three-meter moray eels, Napoleon fish and butterfly fish, surgeon fish, sultans, mackerel, reef perches, shrimp, squid and more than a thousand species of marine life also live in it. And the coast of Sudan was chosen by sharks.

What is Romania - this is, first of all, the castle of the most famous vampire Count Dracula, this is an unusual combination of sea breeze and aromas of virgin nature, modern urban jungle and monuments ancient architecture.

Any country in the world has such sights and unusual places, which every tourist needs to visit so that he can safely say - I know this country and have seen all of it unique places. Of course, Romania is no exception. general rule and here there is on, and why be surprised.

Summer is the season for vacations and beach holidays. It is at this time of the year that most people go on a trip to seaside resorts. For some, a seaside vacation is a beautiful tan, for others it is warm and healthy salty water, while for the rest, clean sand and a favorable climate are important.

Red sea

The local air is very dry, its humidity is no more than 30%, it is saturated with oxygen and has a beneficial effect on the nervous system. Almost the whole year the north-west wind blows here, so the heat of 40 ° C is tolerated quite easily. But excessive dryness of the air can sometimes lead to overdrying of the mucous membranes.

This is the warmest, most transparent and salty sea in the whole world, not a single river flows into it. One liter of Red Sea water contains about 41 g of salt. This factor has a wound healing effect, and also helps to cure the symptoms of many skin diseases. A fairly large number of poisonous and life-threatening creatures are found in the Red Sea. Therefore, it is not recommended to swim over special barriers.

It's easy to get burned on the beach. The radiation of the sun is very active, and the wind creates a phantom feeling of coolness. It is not recommended to be in the open sun between 11 am and 4 pm. The Red Sea is the best place for lovers of warm and clear water, as well as diving fans.

Mediterranean Sea

In summer, the local air heats up to 40°C in the south and up to 25°C in the north. On islands such as Corsica, Sardinia, Crete and Sicily, the wind saves from the heat. The climate would be quite similar to the Red Sea, but it can be very stuffy here due to high humidity, more than 50%. In July-August, it is optimal to relax in southern France, northeastern Italy or northern Croatia. In September, you can go anywhere, there is no heat, and the sea is still warm.

caribbean sea

Coastline caribbean in places it is strongly indented, sometimes there are mountainous cliffs. The shallow water areas are mostly coral deposits, so swimming with bare feet can cut your feet. The average air temperature ranges from 23-27оС. The climate here is warm, the beaches are beautiful, and the water is clear and clean. Also, diving enthusiasts will discover the amazing and rich world of the local marine fauna. But there are also quite dangerous creatures and fish that can harm a person. Holidays in the Caribbean are not cheap. It is perfect for fans of the exotic, thrill and night parties.

Aegean Sea

A semi-enclosed sea with over 2,000 islands. The swimming season here begins in May and ends as early as October. The local water is clear, clean, warm, slightly emerald hue. The water is only a couple of degrees colder than the Mediterranean. There are no dangerous predators and poisonous creatures here, but periodic storms occur in August. The Aegean Sea is ideal for relaxing or for people who prefer tranquility, warm water, light breeze and gentle sun.

Russia is great sea ​​power. Its total length maritime borders is 37636.6 km. The territory of the country is washed by the waters of 13 seas, 12 of which belong to the three world oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic. The thirteenth - Caspian - drainless, not connected to the ocean, strictly speaking, is a lake.

The Sea of ​​Azov is semi-enclosed, communication with the ocean is carried out through the Kerch and Black Seas. The shallowest in the world. The maximum depth is 13m, the average is 7m.

The Caspian is the sea washing the coast of Russia, the largest inland water body of the planet. It does not communicate with the oceans, and, in fact, is a lake. However, the waters and according to what they are, it can be ranked among the seas. About 50 million years ago, it was part of a huge body of water, which also included the Black and Mediterranean Seas. Over the past 30 million years, communication with the World Ocean has been lost and restored repeatedly. At present, the level of the Caspian Sea is unstable, subject to periodic fluctuations, the cause of which has not been established.

Cyprus is an island popular with Russian tourists with an area of ​​9.25 thousand square kilometers. Within its framework, there are three small states at once - Cyprus itself, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, as well as the country of Akrotiri and Dhekelia.

A bit about the history of the island

The first traces of civilization that were found on the territory of Cyprus date back to 8000 BC. Moreover, they are 9000 years old. These are traces of the Stone Age, the Copper Age, and then the Bronze Age.

The golden period of development of Cyprus is the settlement of its ancient Greeks in the 12-11 centuries BC. It was the civilization of the Hellenes that determined the direction of culture that began to develop within the island - this is the Greek language, their art, religion and other traditions.

The Greeks founded ancient cities in Cyprus, some of which still exist today.

Many peoples and civilizations tried to conquer Cyprus - the Assyrians, Egyptians, peppers and others, but no one could master it for a long time. As a result, the army of Alexander the Great liberated the island from foreign invaders, after which the philosopher Zenon (a student of the famous Ptolemy) founded the famous philosophical school of Stoicism in Cyprus.

For many centuries Cyprus was part of Greece and then the Roman Empire. But in 1571, the Ottomans conquered it, after which Cyprus was included in the Ottoman Empire, which interrupted the connection of the island with the rest of Europe. Then, already in 1869, after the opening of the Suez Canal, the British began to show interest in the island, under whose control Cyprus passed in 1878.

Already in the 20th century, many countries claimed possession of Cyprus, and even now, a relatively small island in its territory is often simply torn apart by conflicts between Christians and Muslims.

Mediterranean Sea

The only sea that borders Cyprus in the northeastern part is the Mediterranean Sea. Moreover, this island is the third largest in this salty basin. Cyprus is located 380 kilometers from Egypt, 105 kilometers from Syria and 75 kilometers from the Turkish border.

The geographical location of Cyprus refers it to the Asian part of the continent.

The very name "" was first introduced into circulation by the ancient writer Gaius Julius Solin, who called it "the sea in the middle of the earth." It was the Mediterranean Sea that was connecting for such different European and North African civilizations.

Within this basin, a number of smaller and not always officially recognized seas are also distinguished - Alboran, Balearic, Ligurian, Tyrrhenian, Adriatic, Ionian, Aegean, Cretan, Libyan, Cypriot and Levantine. In one mediterranean sea The basin also includes the Marmara, Black and Caspian Seas.

One of the most changeable and fickle. A thorough study of its bottom has allowed modern scientists to draw up a picture of the transformations that have taken place over the centuries, affecting not only the flora and fauna of the sea, but also its coastal zone, which was reflected in the climatic zone.

The Bosporus Strait was formed by the seas, and the water level in the Black Sea rose by about 140 m. At the same time, its area increased by 1.5 times.

Most of the inhabitants of the Black Sea died due to a sudden influx of salt water. Covered with a multi-meter layer of remains, the bottom of the sea turned into a lifeless desert, inhabited only by a special type of bacteria that produce hydrogen sulfide. Since the mixing of the water layers was prevented by the special directions of the Black Sea currents, the huge “black” zone formed at the bottom turned out to be “preserved”. Currently inhabited is only surface layer seas, up to 200 m deep, with maximum depth 2212 m. Some researchers attribute this fact and modern name Black Sea, assigned to it no more than 500-600 years ago, which in ancient times was known under different names.

Differences

But with such simplicity and accessibility, it is quite difficult to choose which sea to go to. Let's figure it out:

1. The Black Sea water is clear, blue, and in the Azov it is more muddy and greenish, this circumstance is especially clearly visible after even a small storm.
2. The coast of the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov is sandy, with small shells, so the beaches there are white-golden and cozy. But on the Black Sea it is very difficult to find a beach with sand - almost everything here is with pebbles and stones.
3. The Black Sea is very deep, and this allows you to engage in water sports, in particular diving. As for the Sea of ​​Azov, it is the shallowest in the world today, with an average depth of only seven and a half meters. Therefore, it is better to relax here with children, because the water warms up better and you can swim in shallow water.
4. The holiday season, due to the aforementioned circumstance, on the Azov coast begins earlier.
5. The advantage of the Sea of ​​Azov can be called the presence therapeutic mud, which you will not meet on Black. Tourists from different countries often come here precisely because of him.
6. In the Black Sea, the water is saltier, so it is more useful from a health point of view for taking sea baths.
7. Due to the increased salinity, the Black Sea does not freeze, but the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov is covered with a layer of ice during severe frosts.

What to choose

Choosing between the two seas, everyone should be guided by their tastes and needs. For lovers of diving and the like, as well as noisy companies, it is better to go to the Black Sea, as there they can do what they love and have fun in multiple establishments.

It is great to spend a family vacation in Azov. Children and their parents can soak up the golden beaches and swim in the pleasantly warm water.

There are always a lot of vacationers on the Black Sea coast, so lovers of silence are better off going to Azov - here you can find a secluded corner.

In any case, in the summer, of course, it is better to relax on the sea - it is good for health.
