✅The Dead Sea, also known as the Salt Sea, is a saline lake in southwestern Asialocated between Jordan and Israel. ✅It lies to the east of the Mediterranean Sea and south of the Sea of Galilee. ✅ It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley, and its main tributary is the Jordan River. ✅ It is deepest Hypersaline Lake in the world. ✅ To the west of the Dead Sea, the Judaean Mountains rise less steeply and are much lower than the mountains to the East. ✅It is located at an elevation of 5 meters below sea level, making it the Earth’s lowest land-based feature. ✅Salinity: The Dead Sea is one of the Earth’s saltiest water bodies, almost ten times saltier than ordinary seawaters. It has a salinity of 34.2%. ✅It is the fourth saltiest body of water in the world, ranking behind Antarctica’s Don Juan Pond and Lake Vanda, and Djibouti’s Lake Assal. ✅The Dead Sea has one main inlet (the Jordan River) but does not have an outlet and so loses its water mainly through evaporation. ✅The high saline level and the harsh climate make the lake devoid of life, except for algae and other microorganisms. ✅It has a density of 1.240 kg/L, which makes swimming in its waters similar to floating.
