I need help, stuff about the Dead Sea, About three sentences will do, and Brainliest to the best answer, please don't make me re
post this, thanks. Why is the Dead Sea not actually a sea, and what kind of body of water is it?
Why is the Dead Sea so salty and full of minerals?
How does the Dead Sea benefit the people of Jordan and Israel as a resource?
Please give me real answers, I have been struggling on this for a while now.
he Dead Sea region is very dry! It receives less than 4 inches of rain each year. Most of the water in the Dead Sea enters via the Jordan River as freshwater. Like many other places in the Middle East, though, this area is very hot. The water evaporates rapidly, leaving behind any salt or minerals that it contained. Since there are no outlets from the Dead Sea to the ocean, the Dead Sea grows saltier and saltier. The water is so salty that no plants or fish can survive in the waters – hence the name “Dead Sea.” In Hebrew, the sea is called Yam HaMelah, which means “Salt Sea.”
The Dead Sea – bordering Israel, the West Bank and Jordan – is a salt lake whose banks are more than 400m below sea level, the lowest point on dry land. Its famously hypersaline water makes floating easy, and its mineral-rich black mud is used for therapeutic and cosmetic treatments at area resorts. The surrounding desert offers many oases and historic sites.
