WHAT DOES KARA SEA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Kara Sea

The Kara Sea is part of the Arctic Ocean north of Siberia. It is separated from the Barents Sea to the west by the Kara Strait and Novaya Zemlya, and the Laptev Sea to the east by the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago. It is named for the Kara River, which is now relatively insignificant but which played an important role in the Russian conquest of northern Siberia. The word "kara" is derived from Old Turkic "kara" that means "black" and "north", and is still used in modern Turkish. The Kara Sea's northern limit is marked geographically by a line running from Cape Kohlsaat in Graham Bell Island, Franz Josef Land, to Cape Molotov, the northernmost point of Komsomolets Island in Severnaya Zemlya. The Kara Sea is roughly 1,450 kilometres long and 970 kilometres wide with an area of around 880,000 km2 and a mean depth of 110 metres. Compared to the Barents Sea, which receives relatively warm currents from the Atlantic, the Kara Sea is much colder, remaining frozen for over nine months a year. The Kara receives a large amount of freshwater from the Ob, Yenisei, Pyasina, and Taimyra rivers, so its salinity is variable.

Definition of Kara Sea in the English dictionary
