Why is it impossible to sink in the dead sea?

Answer 1

Answer 1: Because the amount of salt in the red sea makes it much more dense its like dropping a sultana in a glass of lemonade then dropping one in porridge Answer 2: There is an extremely high salt composition in the water that makes it more dense, this allows heavier objects to float on its surface. When a liquid is more dense, it means the particles are pact closer together. A better example would be trying to float in water, vs. trying to float in thick cement, the water is flowing and will let a body pass through it, as the cement is more dense it does not let objects pass through it as easily.

Answer 2

It is not impossible, but it is very difficult. The water in the Dead Sea is extremely salty, and has been estimated to be the second saltiest major body of water in the world. Its name is derived from the fact that the water is far too salinated for marine inhabitation. It is nearly impossible to sink in the hypersalinated waters. Visit DeadSeaGuide.com for more info

Answer 3

Drowning in water can occur only if its density is more than that of water.

In the Dead Sea, the concentration of salt is very high, hence the water density is high compared to other places. When a human body falls into the Dead Sea it would float as its density is less than that of water.

You can demonstrate this by taking 2 lemons and two glasses of water.

Place a lemon inside each glass, you'll notice that lemon will drown (sink to the bottom).

Add approximately 10 spoons of salt in one of the glasses. you'll see that lemon starts floating!

Answer 4

you can drown in the dead sea if you want but the concentration of salt is so high that you automatically float therefore you can't drown unless you really want to

Answer 5

Because there is so much salt in it.
