because the river flowing into it passes through salty rock, so it picks it up and deposits it in the dead sea
Not exactly. The Mediterranean Sea has dried out completely no less than four times. When that happens, it leaves a huge layer of evaporated salt behind. The land on the eastern side of the Mediterranean has also risen (because of geologic forces) and the result today is a lake sitting on the salt deposit. That salt deposit is in a physical depression and has no outlet. It is like a bowl made of salt holding water.
The Red Sea is a very enclosed area and suffers from evaporation and has a slainity level between 3.6% and 3.8% - the rest of the Indian ocean ranges from 3.2% to about 3.7%
This is only slightly lower than the Atlantic Ocean which ranges from 3.3% to 3.7%
You may be thinking of the Dead Sea... the inland lake between Israel, the West Bank, and Jordan. This body of water has a salinity level of 33.7%.
The reason why it is so salty is also due to evaporation, and increased irrigation, diverting water which would previous have fed the sea to other purposes.
The Red Sea has a high salinity because it has no river to supply it with freshwater and since it is so hot there, there is fast evaporation and very little precipitation.
primarily comes from rock on the land opening in the seafloor
Because the salt dissolved from the earth is transported by rivers in seas.
In 1 cubic metre of the red sea you can extract 35kg of salt!! Hope this helps Jazzybaby xx how many cubic meters in the red sea?
Sea water contains salt, which gives the water it's salty taste
BECAUSE OF HIGH CONCENTRATION OF SALT IN WATER.
Because the fresh water turns into salty water.
because of the minerals present on the sea bed
The ocean has always been salty and it is thought that life evolved in the oceans. This means that salt water fish have mechanisms for dealing with the salt in their environment. However, land animals have adapted to live away from the sea and have developed a waterproof covering (skin) to protect us from drying out. (They sort of carry a bit of the ocean with them). This means that if you were to dip your injury into SEA WATER (which is salty) you would NOT find this painful. The water must be made MORE SALTY than sea water before it would hurt. Water this salty would also hurt most fish.
Sea water contains lots of dissolved salts. Thus the density of the salty sea water is more than that of water in swimming pools, and the salty water lifts you more than fresh water, which make swimming easier.
Ocean water, swamps, ect. Ocean water, swamps, ect.
Yes, it is a sea and has salty water.
Because the fresh water turns into salty water.
due salty water due to salty water
because many people throw items in the sea
how many salty water of sea
The Baltic Sea is known as Brackish, that is a little more salty than fresh water, but not as salty as sea water
yes, they are salty ,with the help of sea water and ocean water we make salt.
There is a sea in africa and it's water is sweet and salty
It is more salty than the average sea.
It's not technically "sea water" but the water in your eye is somewhat salty - which is why eyedrops are not made of straight water but a salty mixture that mimics that in your eye.
because
A little.
