<span>Fresh water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and as salinity increases, the required temperature to freeze decreases. The freezing point for water at 18 0/00 is 30.233 degrees Fahrenheit. So, for the black sea to freeze, it would need to be less than about thirty and a quarter degrees in both areas. Further for the Adriatic not to freeze it must be assumed that the Adriatic's salinity is higher, probably significantly higher as to avoid even partially freezing. Furthermore, as the Black Sea's decreased salinity is attributed to nearby freshwater runoff, it is safe to assume that the Adriatic Sea either A) Has little or no freshwater runoff, or B) Has a mitigating factor that negates any freshwater runoff, allowing the salinity of its water to remain high.</span>

Answer:

Strike slip faults

Strike-slip faults are vertical (or nearly vertical) fractures where the blocks have mostly moved horizontally. If the block opposite an observer looking across the fault moves to the right, the slip style is termed right lateral; if the block moves to the left, the motion is termed left lateral.
