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.

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.

Explain how scale is used on a map and why it is an important tool
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Scale on a map is important in order to give the map reader a sense of size. Maps are just about always smaller than what they really represent, and scale is a way of quantifying how much smaller they are.

First, find yourself a map. Then, using two points, find both the distance on the map and the true distance. Next, you divide the true distance by the measured map distance, and find your scale. Last, you need to place that ratio onto your map.
