The number of reservoirs washing the Russian Federation

In total, in the territory of the Russian Federation there are water spaces that belong to the water area of ​​one inland sea and 12 more, belonging to the water area of ​​three largest oceans planets. The list of what seas wash Russia includes many objects whose water area our state shares with other countries.

The general list includes seas of the Arctic basin:

• Barents;
• White;
• Kara;
• Laptev sea;
• East Siberian;
• Chukchi.

To the list of seas Atlantic Basin includes:

• Baltic;
• Black;
• Azov.

Refer to Pacific Basin:

• Beringovo;
• Okhotsk;
• Japanese.

Attention! A feature of our state is the inland Caspian Sea located on its territory. Such a list helps to understand which oceans wash Russia.

oceans

In total, three of the four parts of the world's oceans wash the coast of Russia at once. Russian borders do not touch only the Indian Ocean. Unless, of course, we do not count the presence of the division of the World Ocean into five parts. AT last years in the world scientific practice there is an opinion that it is necessary to separate the location located in the area South Pole planets of the southern waters. Such a division is accepted by analogy with the existence of the Arctic Ocean. But official science has not yet officially recognized such a division.

Given this division, we can separately consider each object washing the shores of our state.

Atlantic

Which ocean do you think the Baltic belongs to? This is a body of water that unites the borders of virtually all European states, belongs to the area Atlantic Ocean . The Baltic Sea has always been the center of Eurasian civilization.

The unification by a single water area ensured the successful economic development of the Baltic countries. It is not for nothing that the largest Russian economic centers are located on the Baltic coast. Including the cities of St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Baltiysk and Vyborg.

At the same time, the Black Sea, the most saturated with hydrogen sulfide space on the territory of the Russian Federation, enters the waters of the Atlantic. Along with the Baltic, Chernoye is a major transport artery and an important resort area for the development of the country's economy. The bases of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are located in its water area. They are in such major cities like Sevastopol and Novorossiysk. It is not worth thinking about which ocean the Black Sea belongs to. It enters the waters of the Atlantic.

Comparing how many oceans washes Russia, in the waters of the Atlantic should be attributed also the miniature Sea of ​​Azov. Its area is only 39 thousand square meters. It is too shallow for water transportation, so a special channel was dug in it for ships. Due to the convenient topography of the bottom, covered with sand and warm, the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov is recognized as more of a resort than a strategic object. Numerous recreation centers are located on its banks. The resort center is the city of Yeysk.

Arctic

A huge space off the coast of the Russian Federation is occupied by the cold and dangerous Arctic. It includes a large number of seas. For example, the White Sea, which ocean does it belong to? It is part of the Arctic Ocean.

This part of the oceans includes the largest sea washing the territory of Russia, Beringovo. The area of ​​the Bering Sea is 2,315,000 square kilometers.

Its depths are rich. The deposits located at the bottom of the Chukotka have the maximum natural oil reserves. Their potential is known so far only theoretically. At the bottom of the reservoirs of the Arctic, active geological surveys are constantly being carried out.

Attention! A logical feature of all water spaces in the Arctic is becoming very cold water, most ice-bound years.

Quiet

The Pacific Ocean covers a large area on the surface of the planet. The water bodies included in its water area, belonging to the water space of Russia, as well as the water spaces of the Arctic, have a harsh climate.

Only Japan has a relatively favorable climate, which allows creating resort areas on the shores. It is also the most "inhabited" region of Russia on the Pacific coast. Suffice it to recall such large and developed cities as Vladivostok or Nakhodka.

The seas of the Pacific Ocean on the territory of Russia are a real center of water transport communication between the states of the Asia-Pacific region. At the moment, it is waterways that receive maximum attention when considering programs for the economic development of the territory.

Pacific Ocean

Development of coastal territories

Each body of water located on the territory of the Russian Federation must has major settlements . Urban development was gradual. most ancient history, since the time of Ancient Rome and Greece, the basins of the Atlantic have been distinguished.

Twelve seas of three oceans wash the shores of Russia. And only one sea - the Caspian - belongs to the internal drainless basin of Eurasia.

Seas of the Arctic Ocean

The seas of the Arctic Ocean - the Barents, White, Kara, Laptev, East Siberian, Chukchi - wash the territory of Russia from the north. All these seas are marginal; only the White Sea is inland. The seas of the Arctic Ocean are separated from each other and from the Central Polar Basin by archipelagos of islands, islands (Svalbard, Franz Josef Land, Novaya Zemlya, Severnaya Zemlya, about. Wrangel and others). All seas are located on the shelf of the mainland and therefore are shallow. All seas of the Arctic Ocean are open. The seas of the Arctic Ocean are characterized by a large runoff from the mainland (about 70% of the territory of Russia belongs to the basin of this ocean). Rivers bring here 2735 km 2 of water. In summer, warm river water helps melt sea ​​ice, and in autumn and winter, by desalinating sea water, it accelerates the formation of strong ice.

In winter, the western regions are characterized by cyclonic activity, softening frosts. Cyclones move from the North Atlantic along the depression of low pressure passing over the Barents Sea to the Kara Sea. They are associated with unstable, very windy, cloudy weather in the waters of the western seas. In the eastern regions, cyclonic activity is associated with the Aleutian Low, but is less developed. An increase in the frequency of cyclonic weather is due to an increase in winter temperatures. The central seas (Laptev and East Siberian) are dominated by anticyclonic, slightly cloudy weather with calm or very weak winds. In general, there is a change in the temperature conditions of winter when moving from west to east. In summer leading role climate is formed by the continuous flow of solar radiation coming during the polar day. Summer cyclones are not as deep and fill up quickly, so their role in climate formation is less than in winter. The main amount of solar radiation is spent on the melting of snow and ice, so the temperature background is low. in summer, differences in the climate of the seas of the Arctic Ocean are smoothed out.

The most striking distinguishing feature northern seas is the year-round presence of ice in all Arctic seas. Much of the Arctic Ocean all year round bound in ice. In winter, only the western part Barents Sea stays free of ice. Near the coast in winter, young immovable ice is formed, attached to the coast. This is the coastline. Behind the fast ice strip there are fast ice polynyas. Behind them there are drifting perennial ice - arctic pack (pack ice). It consists of large ice floes separated by cracks, sometimes polynyas. In addition to sea ice, powerful blocks are found in the polar seas. continental ice- icebergs torn off from ice sheets descending to the sea surface off the coast of Franz Josef Land, Novaya Zemlya and Severnaya Zemlya.

The position in high latitudes, the lack of solar heat led to weak heating of the waters of the Arctic seas. In summer, the water temperature at the ice edge approaches zero, and towards the coast of the mainland it rises to +4 - +6 ° С, in the southwestern part of the Barents Sea - up to + 8 - +9 ° С, and in the White Sea even up to +9 - +10°C. In winter, the average temperature in most of the water area is close to the freezing temperature, i.e. -1.2...-1.8°С. In the western part of the Barents Sea, the water temperature in January - February is + 4 - + 5 ° С.

Salinity sea ​​waters decreases from the northern margins of the seas to the southern ones.

The overall biological productivity of the seas is low. The species diversity of organisms living in these seas is also relatively small. Following the change in the severity of the nature of the seas from west to east, the number of inhabitants of the seas is decreasing in the same direction. In the Chukchi Sea, the species diversity of animals is slightly increasing due to a decrease in severity due to the penetration here from the Pacific Ocean. warm waters. The species composition of the inhabitants is also changing. Among the commercial fish in the Barents Sea, cod, haddock, halibut, sea bass, herring predominate, salmon (nelma - in the central seas and salmon - in the Chukchi), whitefish (omul, muksun, vendace) and smelt are common to the east. In the Chukchi Sea, the common Arctic species are joined by Pacific boreal species.

Seas of the Pacific Ocean

The Pacific Ocean and its seas - Bering, Okhotsk and Japan - wash the eastern shores of Russia. The seas are separated from the Pacific Ocean by the ridges of the Aleutian, Kuril and Japanese islands, behind which are deep-sea trenches.

They are characterized by a smaller development of the shelf, therefore, significant expanses of the seas have great depths. Within each sea, a shelf, a continental slope and a deep-sea basin are clearly traced.

A distinctive feature of the water exchange of all the seas of the Far East is the relatively small inflow of river water into them. Only 19% of Russia's territory belongs to the Pacific Ocean basin. The total river runoff to these seas is 1212 km 2 /year. Compared to the total volume of water in these seas, this is very small.

The climate of the Pacific seas is largely determined by the interaction of land and ocean. Monsoon circulation evens out differences in the climate of the seas in winter time. The average temperature in January varies from -16°...-20° near the coast to -4°С near the island winds. Only in the Sea of ​​Japan in the southwest does the temperature rise to +5°C, but this is far from Russian territory. The most severe winter is in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, at a distance of 500 km from the coast of which Oymyakon is located - the cold pole of the Northern Hemisphere.

AT summer time differences in the temperature regime of the seas are very significant. The difference of more than 30 degrees in latitude, of course, affects total radiation and summer air temperatures over the water area different seas. In the Bering Sea, the average temperatures in July are 7-10°С, in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk 11-14°С (in some years up to 18°С), in the Sea of ​​Japan 15-20°С (up to 25°С in the warmest years in the south). Typhoons and powerful cyclones sometimes penetrate the seas from southern latitudes, bringing hurricanes.

In winter, the northern half of the Bering Sea and almost the entire Sea of ​​Okhotsk is covered with ice. A narrow strip of ice forms near the Russian coast even in the Sea of ​​Japan. In all seas, first-year ice of local origin is common. The most severe in terms of ice is the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, in the northwestern part of which the ice regime lasts 280 days a year. This is due to the general severity of the winter of this sea. Strongly chilled during the winter, the waters of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk warm up very slowly in summer. Even in the northern part of the Bering Sea, ice conditions are not so severe.

For all seas Far East low winter water temperatures are characteristic: from 0 ... + 2 ° С to -1.3 ... -1.8 ° С. In summer, the temperature of surface waters in the Bering Sea is 5-10°С, in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk - +8-12°С, in the Sea of ​​Japan off the coast of Russia the water temperature is 17°С. The salinity of sea waters varies from 30-32‰ in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk to 33‰ in the Bering Sea and in the Sea of ​​Japan near our coasts.

The seas of the Pacific Ocean are characterized by tidal currents.

The organic world of the Pacific Ocean finds favorable conditions for its existence. In shallow waters, under conditions of sufficient warming, abundant and diverse phyto- and zooplankton develop, lush thickets form seaweeds. Brown algae reach a length of several tens of meters, forming real underwater forests. The ichthyofauna is much more diverse than in the northern seas. Arctic, boreal, and in the Sea of ​​Japan and subtropical fish species live here. In total, about 800 species of fish live in the seas of the Far East, of which 200 species are commercial. The species diversity of fish in the Sea of ​​Japan is especially high (more than 600 species).

Seas of the Atlantic Ocean

The three inland seas of the Atlantic Ocean - the Baltic, Black and Azov - wash small areas of Russian territory. All of them protrude deeply into the mainland, and their connection with the ocean is through other seas and shallow straits. A weak connection with the ocean determines their rather peculiar hydrological regime. The western transfer of air masses has a decisive influence on the climate of the seas.

Baltic Sea the westernmost of the sea. It is connected to the ocean through the shallow Danish Straits and the North Sea.

The main features of the climate Baltic Sea formed under the influence of a steady transfer of temperate air from the Atlantic. Cyclones often pass through the sea, accompanied by western, southwestern and northwestern winds, cloudy weather and heavy rainfall. Their annual number reaches 800 mm and more. In summer, cyclones carry moist cool air, so the average temperature in July is 16-18°C, and the water temperature is 15-17°C. In winter, the Atlantic air causes thaws, since its average temperature in January is about 0°C. The sometimes cold arctic air breaking through here can lower the temperature to -30...-35°C. The Gulf of Finland, located near the borders of Russia, is covered with ice in winter; off the coast of the Kaliningrad region, there are only floating ice. However, in exceptionally severe winters, the entire sea froze (1710, 1809, 1923, 1941, 1955, etc.).

About 250 rivers flow into the Baltic Sea, but about 20% of the annual river runoff is brought into the sea by the river. Neva (79.8 km 2). Its flow exceeds the flow of the other three most major rivers: Vistula, Neman and Daugava - combined. The flow of the Neva is regulated by lakes, so it is characterized by one spring-summer maximum. Strong prolonged westerly winds raise the water level in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland.

The fauna of the Baltic Sea is depleted in species due to high desalinization, low mixing of waters and the poverty of plankton. The following fish are of commercial importance: herring, Baltic sprat, cod, whitefish, chime, lamprey, smelt, salmon. The seal lives in the sea, the number of which is declining due to the pollution of sea waters.

Black Sea- the warmest among the seas washing the shores of our Motherland. The Black Sea lies in a deep tectonic basin with oceanic-type crust and Cenozoic sedimentary cover. The maximum depth of the sea reaches 2210 m. The depression is delineated by the continental slope, which in a number of places (especially near the Caucasian coast) is strongly dissected by underwater canyons. The shelf is most developed in the northwestern part of the sea, off the coast of Ukraine. The coastline of the sea is poorly dissected.

The geographical position of the sea and the relatively small area of ​​the water surface determine the same type of climate throughout its water area, close to the Mediterranean, with warm, wet winters and relatively dry summers. In winter, the synoptic situation determines the predominance of northeast winds with an average speed of 7-8 m/s over almost the entire sea area. The development of strong (more than 10 m/s) and especially storm winds is associated with the passage of cyclones over the sea. The average air temperature in winter drops from high seas to the shores. In the north-eastern part, near the coast of Russia, it approaches 0 ° С, in the north-west it is -2 "С, and in the south-east + 4 ... + 5 ° С. northwest winds. Their average speed is 3-5 m/s, decreasing from west to east. Strong, especially stormy, winds are rare in summer and are also associated with the passage of cyclones. The average air temperature in August varies from + 22°C in the northwest to 24-25°C in the east of the sea.

On the surface of the sea along the coast there is a cyclonic current. In the central part of the sea, two rings of cyclonic currents are traced: one - in the western part, the other - in the eastern part of the sea. Along the Russian shores, the current carries water from the south. Through the straits there is an exchange of water with neighboring seas. Through the Bosporus, the surface current carries the Black Sea water, and the deep current delivers more salty and heavier water from the Sea of ​​​​Marmara to the Black Sea. The salinity of the Black Sea waters in the central part is 17-18‰, and increases with depth to 22.5‰. Near the mouths of large rivers, it drops to 5-10‰.

Among them there are Pontic relics (beluga, stellate sturgeon, sturgeon, herring), Mediterranean forms (mullet, mackerel, horse mackerel, red mullet, sprat, anchovy, tuna, stingray, etc.) and freshwater forms (ram, pike perch, bream). Of the mammals in the Black Sea, endemic species have survived - the Black Sea bottlenose dolphin (dolphin) and the white-bellied seal, or the monk seal, listed in the Red Books.

Sea of ​​Azov- the smallest and shallowest on the planet. Its area is 39.1 thousand km 2, the volume of water is 290 km 2, the greatest depth is 13 m, the average is about 7.4 m. The narrow and shallow Kerch Strait connects it with the Black Sea. The Sea of ​​Azov is a shelf. The relief of its bottom is quite simple: the shallow coast turns into a flat and flat bottom. Depths slowly and smoothly increase with distance from the coast.

The sea is deeply incised into the land, its water area and volume of water are small and do not have a significant impact on the climate; therefore, its climate is characterized by continental features, more pronounced in the northern part of the sea, which is characterized by cold winters and hot, dry summers. In the southern regions, which are more influenced by the proximity of the Black Sea, the climate is milder and more humid. The average temperature in January is -2...-5°C, but with storm winds from the east and northeast directions, temperatures may drop to -25...-27°C. In summer, the air over the sea warms up to 23-25°C.

Ice forms annually in the Sea of ​​Azov, but due to frequent and rapid changes in weather conditions, ice can repeatedly appear and disappear during the winter, turning from immobile to drifting and vice versa. Ice formation begins at the end of November in the Taganrog Bay. The shallowness of the sea, good warming and illumination, mixing of the water column, abundant removal of organic and minerals created favorable conditions for the development of organic life. About 80 species of fish live in the Sea of ​​Azov, among which the Mediterranean forms are the most diverse. Main commercial value have kilka, pike perch, anchovy, bream, sturgeon.

Caspian sea-lake

The Caspian Sea belongs to the internal drainless basin of Eurasia.

The sea extends from north to south within the temperate and subtropical climatic zones for 1200 km with an average width of about 300 km. The large length along the meridian (10 ° 34 "), together with the volume of sea waters, determines the differences in its climate. In winter, the sea is under the influence of the Asian maximum, so northeast winds blow over it, bringing cold continental air from temperate latitudes. The average air temperature in in January - February it reaches -8...-10°С in the northern part of the sea, -3...+ 5°С in the middle part and +8...+ 10°С in the south. in the southern parts of the sea is mainly due to the fact that sea waters accumulate significant heat reserves in summer, therefore they warm the air currents passing over the sea, thereby softening the winter.The shallow northern part of the sea is covered with ice from January to March. the front brings precipitation.Summer is characterized by more stable and clear weather compared to the autumn-winter period.Temperature differences between the North and South Caspian in summer are small.The average temperature in July i in the north is 24-25°C, and in the south 26-28°C. The annual amount of precipitation over the water area of ​​the Northern Caspian is 300-350 mm, in the southwestern part of the sea it exceeds 1200-1500 mm.

The hydrological regime, water balance and level of the Caspian Sea are closely related to surface runoff within its basin. Over 130 rivers bring about 300 km 2 of water into the sea annually. The main flow comes from the Volga (more than 80%). Due to the flow of the Volga, northeast winds and the Coriolis force, there is a constant counterclockwise current along the coast of the Caspian Sea. In the middle and southern basins, there are two more cyclonic currents.

The salinity of the water ranges from 0.3‰ at the mouth of the Volga to 13‰ in the southeastern part. The organic world of the Caspian Sea is not rich in the number of species, but it is deeply endemic. The main part of the fauna is Mediterranean, left over from the period when the sea had a connection with the World Ocean, but later changed (herring, gobies, sturgeons). It was joined by younger forms from the northern seas (salmon, whitefish, seal). A significant part of the fauna is represented by freshwater forms (cyprinids, perches). Over 70 species of fish are now found in the Caspian Sea. Sturgeon, stellate sturgeon, beluga, sterlet, white fish, pike perch, bream, carp, vobla are of commercial importance. The Caspian sturgeon herd is considered the largest in the world. Fishing for the Caspian seal is limited.

Russia is washed by 1 closed sea and 12 seas belonging to three oceans; Moreover, southern part the eastern coast of Kamchatka, the eastern and southeastern shores of most of the Kuril Islands are washed directly by the Pacific Ocean, that part of it that is not included in any sea. Three seas belong to the Atlantic Ocean, six to the Arctic Ocean, three to the Pacific and one more closed sea washing Russia. The degree of control and economic development of various seas by Russia varies significantly. Russia shares water areas of many seas with many other countries.

Seaside cities of Russia

The coastal territories of Russia are distinguished by varying degrees of development in terms of urbanization processes. In Russia, 5 coastal macrozones of urbanization are distinguished. In post-Soviet Russia, the cities of the climatically more favorable Azov-Black Sea and Baltic macrozones developed most dynamically: between 1989 and 2002, 32% of the demographic growth of the southeastern “secured” Makhachkala, 13% - Sochi, 11% - Rostov-on-Don, 10% - Novorossiysk and 6% - Kaliningrad. At the same time, there were exceptions among the climatically northern regions: Naryan-Mar and Salekhard. At the same time, St. Petersburg remains the leading coastal urban center of Russia, where in 2017 about half of the coastal urban population of Russia lived.

Quick answer: 13 sailors are washed up on the territory of the Russian Federation

He will not agree, but he will clearly and accurately answer the question of how many seas are washed out by Russia.
The territory of the Russian Federation washes away 13 seas :

ocean sea (1),
Lion Sea (2),
White Sea (3),
Bering Sea (4),
Barents Sea (5),
Laptev Sea (6),
Karst Sea (7),
Black Sea (8),
Caspian Sea (9),
Sea of ​​Azov (10),
Baltic Sea (11),
Kukin Sea (12) and
Eastern Siberia (13).

Only 13 sea waters wash away the territory of our country, the total length of all sea borders of Russia is 38805 km, and total area the total sea area of ​​the Russian Federation is 7 million square kilometers.

Daily water control is carried out in all 13 seas of our country, and environmentalists carefully monitor the ecological component of water in the seas, paying special attention to the White and Barents Seas, because there, on the islands of these seas, they bury our country's nuclear waste.

The territory of Russia is washed by the waters of 12 seas and one sea-lake. They belong to the basins of three oceans - the Atlantic (Baltic, Black and Azov), Arctic (White, Barents, Kara, Laptev, East Siberian and Chukchi) and Pacific (Bering, Okhotsk and Japanese). The area of ​​internal runoff includes the Caspian Sea-Lake.

The total area of ​​the marine area of ​​Russia is the largest in the world and is about 8.6 million km2 (2.4% of the area of ​​the World Ocean), about 3.9 million km2 is the shelf, 4.7 million km2 - deep water areas.

The length of the coastline of the Russian seas is 60,985 km, incl.

hours of the coast of the seas of the Arctic Ocean 39,940, the Pacific Ocean - 17,740, the Baltic Sea - 660, the Azov and Black - 1185, the Caspian Sea - 1460 km.

Various geological structure seas. The marginal seas in the north of the country are located mainly within the platform areas on the shelf, the marginal Far Eastern seas occupy the transition zone from the continent to the ocean, their basins are located between the underwater margins of the continent and island arcs.

AT arctic belt almost all Russian seas of the Arctic Ocean are located, with the exception of the southwestern part of the Barents and White Seas which belong to the subarctic zone.

AT temperate zone located in the Baltic and Sea of ​​Azov and the northwestern part of the Black Sea, the rest of the Black Sea water area belongs to the subtropical zone.

The Caspian Sea is located on the border of the temperate and subtropical zones.

The Russian seas have a huge resource potential. Large reserves biological resources, especially in the Barents and Okhotsk Seas. At the end of the XX century. on the shelves of the Arctic, Far Eastern seas and in the north of the Caspian Sea, significant hydrocarbon reserves have been discovered, and new deposits of solid minerals have been explored in the Arctic.

Huge energy resources, such as the energy of the tides, waves, wind, thermal.

Most of the Russian seas are under a powerful anthropogenic impact. The most striking negative consequences of this impact on marine ecosystems manifest themselves in the seas washing the shores of the European part of Russia, as well as in the coastal parts of the Sea of ​​Japan.

In the arctic seas ecological situation remains generally relatively stable.

All seas are of great transport importance.

Seas of Russia: alphabetical list

The territory of the Russian Federation is washed by three oceans. All the seas of Russia, a list of which is given in the text of the article, are interesting and special in their own way. All of them are unique and original.

Seas of Russia: list

The largest country on the planet is connected to three oceans through 12 seas, both inland and marginal.

One sea in Russia does not have a direct connection with the World Ocean (except for the connection through the Volga-Don Canal) - this is the Caspian Sea, which is drainless.

Total - 13 seas.

Seas of the Atlantic

The seas from the Atlantic Ocean basin beat against the western shores of Russia.

From the north it is the Baltic Sea, in the south - the Sea of ​​Azov and the Black Sea.
They are united by such features:

• they are all inland, that is, deeply continental;
• all of them are the final seas of the Atlantic, that is, to the east of them, either the waters of another ocean, or land.

The coastline of Russia along the seas of the Atlantic is about 900 km.

The Baltic Sea is touched by the Leningrad and Kaliningrad region. The Black and Azov Seas are washed by the shores Rostov region, Krasnodar Territory and Crimea.

Seas of the Arctic Ocean

Some seas of Russia (the list is given above) belong to the Arctic Ocean basin.

There are six of them: five of them are marginal (Chukotskoye, Kara, Laptev, East Siberian, Barents) and one is internal (Beloye).
Almost all of them are covered with ice all year round.

Thanks to the Atlantic current, the southwest of the Barents Sea does not freeze. The waters of the Arctic Ocean reach the territory of such subjects of Russia as the Murmansk region, the Arkhangelsk region, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, the Taimyr Autonomous District, the Republic of Sakha, the Chukotka Autonomous District.

Seas of the Pacific Ocean

The list of seas washing the shores of Russia from the east and belonging to the Pacific Ocean is given below:

• Beringovo;
• Japanese;
• Okhotsk.

These seas adjoin the territories of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, the Magadan Region, the Kamchatka Region, Khabarovsk Territory, Sakhalin region, Primorsky Territory.

warm seas

Half of the Russian seas are covered with ice all year round.

There are seas that are partially covered with an ice crust for a certain period of time. The warm seas of Russia, the list of which is given below, do not freeze during the year. So to warm seas Russia include:

Seas of Russia: a list of unique seas

All geographical objects of the Earth are special and interesting in their own way.

On the territory of Russia there are objects that are unique and inimitable. Of course, this is Lake Baikal, Volga, Kamchatka geysers, Kurile Islands and much more.

The seas of Russia are also exceptional, a list of which is given below. The table shows the characteristics of some of the seas of Russia in terms of their uniqueness.

We hope that the article was interesting and useful.

Russia is washed by the waters twelve seas, which belong to three oceans. This helped the development of our country, primarily in the military sphere, as well as in trade and industry. Sea routes contributed to the connection of the western and eastern parts of Russia with each other, as well as the establishment of trade with other countries.

It includes the coldest seas, which are unattractive in terms of summer holiday because they vary throughout the year. low temperatures water. Washes Russia from the north the largest number seas.

They differ in shallow depth, as they are located at the site of the flooding of the mainland. White, Kara, Laptev, East Siberian and Chukchi Seas - belong to places with low productivity, since most of the year they stand ice-bound and plankton do not breed in their waters because of the polar night.

Due to the low amount of plankton in these seas, less fish. An exception to the list of northern seas is only the Barents Sea, in which fish actively breed. This sea does not freeze in winter due to the warm current that passes through it.

From the point of view of trade and communication with the outside world, the largest part of the cargo passes along the northern sea route. it shortest way, connecting the Far East region with the western part of the country. The navigable routes of the Siberian rivers also go to it, which makes it possible to efficiently send Natural resources for export and to the regions. In order for navigation to proceed smoothly, Russia uses nuclear-powered icebreakers that pass through the seas and estuaries before merchant ships pass through them.

May be of interest:

In the waters of this ocean, the seas are warmer and some coastal areas are suitable for diving and recreation. For example, tourists often visit the Sea of ​​Japan, where in summer period the water warms up to a comfortable temperature of 23 degrees. In the summer, warm typhoons are frequent here, which not only bring southern air masses, but also significantly humidify the air.

Relative comfort for tourists is also provided by tides with a height of only 50 centimeters. This sea is also the most salty in Russia. On the coast, you can often meet people who cannot afford to improve their health on the shores of the Dead or Red Sea, but choose a more affordable option. Here you will not find resorts and hotels, but almost everyone can go “savage”, it is not difficult to find a campsite on the coast.

Beringovo and Sea of ​​Okhotsk colder and practically unsuitable for summer holidays. They perform a different role - fish is caught here, which is processed and ends up on the shelves of our country in different types. In the waters of these seas, you can still find floating canneries, where freshly caught fish is processed and prepared for sale through retail chains.

In coastal areas there is a different type of tourism - there are parking lots for fishermen. Almost every fan of sport fishing dreams of getting to the coast of one of these seas to set records for the weight and number of sea dwellings caught.

It includes the western Baltic Sea. It warms up to only 17 degrees in summer. Divers love to rest on it, who, in special suits, are able to withstand such temperatures. After the founding of St. Petersburg, merchant ships passed here, which carried, in addition to products and raw materials, jewelry.

Many adventurers scour the bottom for the many treasures that may lurk there. It is not known how successful the search for divers is today, but the Baltic Sea also attracts them as a training ground.
