The Gotland Deep (Swedish: Gotlandsdjupet), [1] is a marine depression in the Baltic Sea and, at 248m below sea level, [2] is its fourth lowest point, after the Landsort Deep, Åland Deep (channel of the Åland Sea) and Ulvo Deep (Bothnian Sea). It is noted for having a periodically anoxic environment. [3] [4]
The geology of the Baltic Sea is characterized by having areas located both at the Baltic Shield of the East European Craton and in the Danish-North German-Polish Caledonides. Historical geologists make a distinction between the current Baltic Sea depression, formed in the Cenozoic era , and the much older sedimentary basins whose sediments are ...
The gulf is a combination of the Bothnian Bay in the north and the Bothnian Sea in the south, separated by the Kvarken region with a water depth of around 25 metres (82 ft) and a rate of land rising of almost 10 mm (0.39 inches) a year. Within 2000 years the bay is expected to separate from the rest of the gulf and become a freshwater lake.
The Western Gotland Basin contains Landsort Deep, which is the deepest spot of the Baltic sea (459 metres deep). The Gotland Basin is marked by the numbers 7, 8 and 10 in this map of the area's marine environment. The sediments in the Gotland Basin are important for studying the climate changes in northern Europe over the past 5,000 years.
