because it has so much salt in it that it enables the body to float instead of sinking in the water
An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.
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
it increases the density of the water, making objects float easier. ex. the dead sea.
Because it is full of dissolved salt which makes the density of things lighter, and therefore makes them float.
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.
the more salt in water the more bouyant an object becomes the salt makes the more denser therefore objects that are of a lesser density will tend to float on the dead sea
The Dead Sea is much saltier than other seas. The dissolved salt increases the density of the water, making it easier to float on.
Yes because there is so much salt in dead sea water the water is denser making you relatively lighter compared to normal water.
The Dead Sea
because the dead sea has more salt than the other seas.
You only float in water if you are less dense than it. The dead sea has a much higher salt concentration than normal sea, therefore it is more dense. This means the difference in density between you and the water is greater, and so you have more boyancy - you float easier.
