Explanation:

The Black Sea is located between Eastern Europe and Western Asia.

• It is surrounded by the Pontic, Caucasus, and Crimean Mountains in the south, east and north respectively.
• The Black Sea is also connected to the Sea of Azov by the Strait of Kerch.
• The Turkish straits system - the Dardanelles, Bosporus and Marmara Sea - forms a transitional zone between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
• Bordering countries of Black Sea are: Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania.
• There is a significant absence of oxygen in the water (anoxic waters).

Hence both statements are correct.
