The surface of the Dead Sea is more than 400 meters below sea level and mineral laden water flowing into it from the Jordan River disappear by evaporation. Minerals left behind after the water evaporates make the Dead Sea about nine times as salty as the oceans. Animal and plant life cannot exist in this high a concentration of salt, so the Dead Sea was given its name long ago because there was no evidence of any forms of life in it. There are tiny microbes living in the Dead Sea, but their existence was unknown before the 1900's.
