Dead Sea

Also known as Salt Sea, Dead Sea is the deepest hypersaline lake and one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. It is bordered by Jordan to the east and West Bank and Israel to the west.

Why is it impossible to sink in the dead sea?

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.

What is the composition of salt in the dead sea?

The Dead Sea water contain magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium chlorides and some bromides.

Why is the dead sea in Israel so dense?

because of a lot of salt is in it

The dead sea has no outlet. Water flows into it but not out. The area where the dead sea is is an arid zone so rainfall is low. Water evaporates from the dead sea but because there is not much water flowing into it the dead sea becomes concentrated with mineral salts and that makes it dense.

I thin it is by 1,000 ft cause not only the dead sea is one of the saltiest seas in the world but it is also one of the deepiest

What allows us to float in the dead sea?

The density of salt is higher than the density of water. (density is kg/m3) So when you mix salt and water, and the salt dissolves in the water then the density of the water is higher than it use to be. (When you mix salt in water the volume of the water actually goes down! This is due to ion-contraction. So the density of the water doesn't just increase, it really increases.) The ability of things to float is a matter of how much water you displace, a matter of volume. The greater the volume of water you displace the greater will be the boyant force. It is also a matter of the density of the water you are displacing. As salt water is more dense than fresh water it is more boyant. As the water in the Dead Sea is very salty it is very boyant.

What is a fossil fuel formed from dead sea animals plants?

Fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon:hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquid petroleum to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. Methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields, alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane calibrates. It is generally accepted that they formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants and animals[1] by exposure to heat and pressure in the Earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years All petroleum products are fossil fuels.

The Mediterranean Sea. You can float in it. I think it's impossible to sink. It's full of salt!

Is the dead sea fresh water?

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.

Which sea is so named because it is too salty to maintain life?

The question makes no sense. Water being extremely salty inhibits the presence of life; it does not support it. The Dead Sea, the saltiest sea on Earth is practically devoid of life because of its saltiness.

Why is the dead sea considered dead?

because it has so much salt in it, it is nearly impossible for life to, well, live in it.

The Middle Eastern country that shares the Dead Sea with Israel is Jordan.

Is the dead sea in the middle east?

It is in Judea, which is now called the West Bank, which is in the Occupied Territories of Palestine

Why is the dead sea saltier than the baltic sea?

I don't know? Possibly because the Dead Sea has no openings, and anything that goes in it, stays there. While the Baltic Sea has openings and water flows in an out of it giving it less salt because the salt flows out.

Simple, i think...Also, the Baltic Sea is much bigger than the Dead Sea. Maybe that's why aswell...

Why does nothing grow in the dead sea?

If i am not mistaken nothing can live in the dead sea because it has too much salt in it

Do fishes live in dead sea?

ANSWER:
No. Large, visible lifeforms cannot survive the high salt concentration. This lack of life gives the sea it's name. Specially-evolved bacteria do live there, and can be seen through a microscope.

How were the Dead Sea Scrolls written?

They are believed to be written by a group called the Essenes. This isn't known for sure, but considering where they were found and approximating how old they are, scientists have come to this conclusion.
