It's a lot saltier than normal sea water as for many years there has been less water running into it than water that evapourates from it. The water goes but the salt stays, so it is slot saltier and has a higher relative density than normal sea water. This helps us float better on it's surface.

∙ 14y agoThe high salt content of the Dead Sea causes the density of the water to be nearly 25% greater than the density of pure water. Buoyancy is proportional to the density of displaced fluid, thus an object in the Dead Sea feels a stronger buoyant force than would be observed in pure water.

∙ 13y agobecause there is a lot of salt in the dead sea and that creates a lot of buoyancy so you can read a book in the sea without worrying that it will get wet because you sink.

∙ 15y agoyes because the salt content in the water is so high your able to float in the shallower areas of the body of water
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoBecause of high salt levels in the water, the water gets a higher mass densety, and other things becomes lighter compared to it.

Why does a dense object float in the Dead Sea?
An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.
Why do you float in water with tons of salt?
I think substances can float in very salty water, because salty water (example the dead sea)is much more denser than other any other non-salty water, so things will float much more easier.
When the increase in the salinity of seawater result in an increase or decrease in density?
If you compare the density of sea water, and then compared the extremely salty Dead Sea, you will find that the more salt in the water, the higher is the density. Which is why you can float on the Dead Sea while reading a newspaper (which I once saw demonstrated in a documentary). Also, a ship will float lower on a fresh water lake, and float higher on salt water.
Is it easier to float in salt water than chlorinated water?
yes, i heard that the dead sea has so much salt in it you cant really swim you just float
Where on earth you can float and not sink?
The dead sea. The level of salt is so high that it will make it very hard to sink.
How do people float in the red sea?
Yes, people can float in the Red Sea, because there is a large amount of salt in the Red Sea. Therefor, objects including people, have more buoyancy so we can float. If you do not know what buoyancy is, it is the ability to float
Name the sea where man can float?
The Dead Sea is known for its high salt content, which makes it easy for humans to float on its surface.
Body of water contains so much salt that people can float on it?
The Dead Sea.
Why can't we float on the dead sea?
.
Will rocks float on dead sea?
No
What is the name of the sea that is so full of salt you just float in it?
The DEAD SEA 'Jordon'
Do you float in the dead sea unaided?
Yes
Why do people go to see the dead sea?
because its a beautiful place to see.& u float!OMG
What enables people to float in the dead sea?
The amount of salt in the water causes the water to be more dense than people.
Does eating salt make a person float?
Though extremely salty lakes (ie the Dead Sea) cause people to float eating salt will not.
Can an anchor float in the dead sea?
Assuming it's a regular steel anchor, an anchor, can't float in the dead sea. Dead Sea water is dense and buoyant for being water, but it's not THAT dense.
Why a man can float in a dead sea?
because it has so much salt in it that it enables the body to float instead of sinking in the water
