Question 21 • World Geography

What is a unique characteristic of the Black Sea?

Answer
A
It is located between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
B
Its bottom layer contains no living creatures.
C
It is the oldest lake on Earth.
D
It stretches 600 miles from north to south.

Explanation

The Black Sea has layers that mix very little: its deep water contains hydrogen sulfide and lacks dissolved oxygen. As a result, the deep bottom layer cannot support living creatures. The other choices do not describe the Black Sea: it lies between southeastern Europe and western Asia, and it is not the oldest lake on Earth.
