Describe the unique features of the Dead Sea. Where is this lake located? How is it changing?
Anni [7]
The Dead Sea has a very high salt content however, The Dead Sea is shrinking, and as it recedes, the fresh water aquifers along the perimeter of the lake are receding along with it. As this fresh water diffuses into salt deposits beneath the surface of the shoreline, the water slowly dissolves the deposits until the earth above collapses without warning. More than 1,000 sinkholes have appeared in the past 15 years.
The Dead Sea is located bordering Israel, the West Bank and Jordan
