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.

Answer:

As given below

Explanation:

  • The dead sea is also called the sea of salt or the salt lake, borders Jordan in the east and Israel on the west bank, the Jordan River is the main tributary of this zone. It is 304 meters in-depth, with salinity fluctuating from 31 to 37 parts per million. It has a catchment area of 41,650 km square.
  • Studies show that the dead sea is shifting at a rate of 605 kilometers square, due to the presence of a left lateral moving transform fault.
  • Here rainfall is scarce about 100 mm in northern parts.
  • It forms a landlocked lake and has a heavier salt deposit.
  • Thought it has high salt content in it still minute quantities of bacteria and microbial fungi are found in this lake.
  • The sea is sharing very fast and it's being overtaken by the Jordan river in 1930 it had a surface area of about 1030 km and in 2016 it was reduced to 605 km square.

Information about how electricity generated from waves​
Furkat [3]

Answer:

As the wind passes over the surface of the oceans, a portion of the winds kinetic energy is transferred to the water below, generating waves.The kinetic energy of the wave turns a turbine attached to a generator, which produces electricity.The wave energy is absorbed by radiating a wave with destructive interference to the incoming waves. Buoys use the rise and fall of swells to generate electricity in various ways including directly via linear generators, or via generators driven by mechanical linear-to-rotary converters or hydraulic pumps.

What natural hazards are difficult for humans to adapt to? Why?
Vilka [71]

Natural Hazards can be described as dangerous occurrences that are a threat to human survival. These can include unforeseen sudden events such as earthquakes, volcanoes, Tsunamis and tornadoes. This can also include some slow-moving disasters e.g. droughts, climate change and even diseases.

All these events are difficult for humans to adapt to. Human bodies have not gone through an evolutionary process where we can coupe with such disasters.

In modern countries, some precautions have been developed e.g. dams to store water in times of drought or earth-quake proof buildings seen in Japan.

Generally, humans in poorer countries are more susceptible to natural hazards due to poor infrastructure.
