Kuma–Manych Depression
The Kuma–Manych Depression (Russian: Кумо–Манычская впадина, Kumo–Manychskaya vpadina), is a geological depression in southwestern Russia that separates the Russian Plain (north) from the Fore-Caucasus (south).[1] It is named after the Kuma and Manych rivers.[2]
It is sometimes regarded as a definition for the natural boundary between Europe and Asia, although most modern sources use the Greater Caucasus watershed instead.
The Rostovsky Biosphere Reserve is located within the Depression.[3]
