Larnin me some stuff
Oh yeah. Now I remember. I had wondered if the landlocked Caspian Sea was fresh water or salt water. Answer: True. It’s mostly fresh. Brackish. But due to evaporation and water usage the Caspian Sea, like the Aral Sea to it’s east, is shrinking. This means the salinity is increasing.
Once upon a time, back in the far long ago when the British Isles were still attached to France, the Mediterranean, the Aegean, the Black, the Caspian, and the Aral Sea were all one body of water called the Paratethys Sea, which was usually open to the Tethys Sea, a body of water that would eventually become the Indian Ocean. But then Africa stuck it’s big nose into the picture, all that plate tectonics and rift valley stuff, mountains forming, volcanoes going splat and so on, and things have never been the same.

My cliner lies over the ocean.
My cliner lies over the sea.
My cliner lies over the ocean.
So bring back my cliner to me.
Wow! Thanks for the science lesson. Cool.
I’m waiting for someone to point out my mistake to me. If no one has, and I remember, I’ll fix it in the morning.
Yeah, I love all that earth science stuff. I used to take the courses in college for relaxation and to pump up the old GPA. Oceanography and rocks and clouds is fun. Sure, rocks are hard; there’s lots of schist to remember and some of it isn’t gneiss, but what the shale? It beat the heck out of algorithm performance analysis proofs.
Better yet,Try out this recipe for funeral potatoes. Its all the rage at AoS.

Oh, in an alternate universe I actually follow these awesome articles you post and learn much. Thanks agin ObiDrew.Reading this article was like reading the “tamper” label on a power supply I just bought; ”It could be maintain just this seal is not be opening”. English words - sure, but not in any recognizable order.
