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.

Which North American country has the largest French population? Canada Greenland Mexico United States
marissa [1.9K]
I understand this question to actually mean "French-speaking population" or "culturally associated with France".

The correct answer is: Canada. In fact, one province of Canada is completely French speaking: Quebec. Is it also likely that the biggest amount of French Citizens living in America are also in Quebec.
