Answer from: aarrobic

Astrakhan is not a good seaport because it doesn't come out on a sea, and the Volga River near which it is located is having its delta there and the waters are shallow with high amounts of sediment.

Astrakhan is not in a position to be a good seaport. It is located in the delta of the Volga River, where the river spreads out into numerous sleeves, losing depth, and leaving huge amounts of sediments. Also, the Volga River connects Astrakhan with the Caspian Sea, which is not actually a sea but a lake, thus there isn't a connection with the ocean.

On top of it, the Caspian Sea is in terrible condition, rapidly losing its water and it has become fragmented, which makes it less and less suitable for travel and trade as years pass by.

Astrakhan is not a good seaport because it doesn't come out on a sea, and the Volga River near which it is located is having its delta there and the waters are shallow with high amounts of sediment.

Explanation:

Some settlements, be it small or large, are very good seaports, while some aren't. There is a simple reason for this and that is geography. In order for a place to be a good seaport it needs to be connected with the sea/ocean, the water to have suitable depth, strategic location for trade and transport, and a lack of accumulation of sediments.

Astrakhan for example is not in a position to be a good seaport. It is located in the delta of the Volga River, where the river spreads out into numerous sleeves, losing depth, and leaving huge amounts of sediments. Also, the Volga River connects Astrakhan with the Caspian Sea, which is not actually a sea but a lake, thus there isn't a connection with the ocean.
