Problems in the Caspian and Black Seas
Introduction
The Caspian Sea is losing water. The Black Sea is getting hotter. These changes are bad for nature and people.
Main Body
The Caspian Sea has less water now. It may lose 21 meters of water by the year 2100. People build dams and the sun dries the water. This kills animals and makes ships stop working. The Black Sea is getting warmer. The temperature may go up by 4 degrees by 2070. This changes the rain. Some places will have no rain in summer. Other places will have too much rain in winter. Hot weather is also a problem. Heatwaves will last longer. This kills plants and hurts farms. The air and water changes affect many countries.
Conclusion
Countries must work together now. They need to change their buildings and plans to save the environment.
