well, they both have natural buoyancy which causing people to float more easily. because of the density of the water from the salt.
they are also both hypersaline bodies of water. they are both very salty with many minerals, which are taken out of the waters. 123 smart one 123 =] that's me!
What else can I help you with?
Where can salt be found?
Salt water accounts for 97.5% of all water on Earth. The oceans, seas and bays are salt water and represent 96.5% of all water on Earth. Another 1% exists as saline ground water. See related links.
What is a halophile?
A halophile is a type of archeabacteria, this peticular species thrives in salty sollutions there for it is found in places such as the dead see and the great salt lake. Halophile acutally means "salt-lover" in greek. While many other organisms, being placed in such a hypertonic sollution, would go through plasmolysis (shrivel up), these organims have optimal growth in areas where the salt content is between 20 and 30 percent.
How many lakes does the US have?
The US has over 100,000 lakes, with the Great Lakes being the largest group of freshwater lakes in the country. These lakes range in size from small ponds to large bodies of water like the Great Salt Lake in Utah.
What water regulation adaptations might have evolved in protists hypertonic habitats such as great salt lake. In habitats with changing salt concentration?
Protists in hypertonic habitats like the Great Salt Lake may have evolved adaptations like efficient ion pumps to regulate salt concentration within their cells. They may also possess specialized proteins or osmolytes to help maintain water balance by osmoregulation. In environments with changing salt concentrations, protists may have evolved the ability to adjust their osmoregulatory mechanisms dynamically to cope with fluctuations in their surroundings.
Why dead sea special?
because that's the place where the part of old testament found.that's why the dead sea is special and also because the water is so salty that nothing can live in it. Due to the local scorching rainless climate the surface water evaporates. the salt dissolved in it remains making the water still saltier. this explains why the dead sea has a salt content not of 2 or 3% like most marine water but 27%!!. the water of the dead sea exhibits a very curious property b/c of its saltiness. since it is much heavier than ordinary sea water, u'll never sink in it because u are much lighter. so according to the law of buoyancy we'd never drown in the dead sea: we'd pop up to the surface just like an ordinary egg in salt water- which, incidentally, sinks in fresh water. ( sorry mate, didn't mean u're an egg)
What do the Great Salt Lake and Dead Sea have in common?
Both the Great Salt Lake and the Dead Sea are salt lakes. Both lakes are also endorheic basins as well, meaning that they are a closed drainage basin that retains water and allows no outflow to other bodies of water. Both lakes are hypersaline too, meaning that they have high salinity, or dissolved salt content.
What landlocked lake is so salty that almost nothing can live in its waters?
The Dead Sea, Great Salt Lake (though some things, like brine shrimp, live there), Lake Assal, Lake Van (only has the Pearl Mullet), and Don Juan Pond in Antarctica.
Why is the The Great Salt Lake so salty?
The great salt lake is salty because there's no outlet so the lakes that run in it just build it up like when rocks go in the great salt lake the minerals come off and make it salty!!!!!
Do seahorses live in the Great Salt Lake?
No, seahorses do not live in the Great Salt Lake. They are typically found in warmer coastal waters and prefer environments like coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds. The Great Salt Lake, with its high salinity and harsh conditions, is not suitable for seahorse habitats.
What is the habitat of halophilic?
The Dead Sea is formed across the Aribian Peninsula along a fault line. The water gathers in the lowest part of the fault line area and forms the Dead Sea. The saline/salt content of the Dead Sea makes it impossible for most organisms to live there. Only salt loving organisms like the halophile can survive in environments that have high saline/salt content. Zuni Salt Lake in New Mexico is an example of what is know as a Maar. A Maar is a lake formed by some sort of volcanic activity. This lake is a flat saline/salt lake that formed across the crater of an inactive volcano. It is about 6,500 feet across and 400 feet deep.The Great Salt Lake is the saltiest body of water that is inside a land mass in the Western Hemisphere. Rivers like the Bear, Weber, and Jordon all flow into the Great Salt Lake, but there is no way for the water from these rivers to flow out of the Salt Lake. Water collects until it overflows its banks. You can see the whitish areas that have flooded in the past.
Does Lake Michigan have salt water?
No. Lake Michigan, like all of the Great Lakes, is fresh water only.
Were is salt water found?
The oceans, some lakes like The Great Salt Lake in Utah, and other places.
Is superior lake salty?
Lake Superior is one of the Great Lakes, all of which are fresh water, not salty. With rare exceptions like the Great Salt Lake, a lake is always a body of fresh water while a body of salt water is called a Sea or Ocean.
Does the air in Salt Lake City have salt in it?
Not really. Unlike places that are near the ocean, Salt Lake City's air doesn't contain the salt that corrodes metal. This is because the air is so dry that the water from the Great Salt Lake doesn't really evaporate into the air and hover there like it does in coastal cities.
Why are the dead sea and the great salt lake so salty?
answ2. like many inland seas, they have only inflowing waters, and no outflow, and no connection to a larger water body.As a consequence, their salt level gradually increases, due to evaporation.The salt burden is derived from naturally occurring salt in the rocks of their watershed.
Is the dead sea really a lake?
The term sea can actually means a body of water, but not like a river or a pond.... a lake can be a sea... To clear things up, the Dead Sea is actually a lake.
Is Salt Lake City really a lake?
no, its a city. hense "salt like city"
