What is Death Valley like?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sand, rocks and cacti with 90 degree temps in the shade.

Not Exactly. The most surprising part of Death Valley are the extraordinarily tall mountains that sandwich the valley. Next is the white alkali, salty valley floor. Then there's the underground river that bottoms out at Badwater - the deepest spot in the Western hemisphere 282 feet below sea level. There are springs in the mountains and spectacular sand dunes in the middle and southern end of the Valley. Temperatures can get well over 100 in the shade in summer. I was there when it hit 127. Always have plenty of water.

Death Valley is282 feet below Sea Level at its lowest point. While Death Valley is the lowest elevation in the Hemisphere, it is far from the lowest elevation in the world, such title belongs to the Dead Sea area in Israel, which is about 1,349 feet below Sea Level. The Sea of Galilee in Israel is also about 700 feet below Sea Level. The entire Jordan River is below Sea Level. Where can I get a graphic description of what portion of Death Valley is below sea level?

What does 'You shall fear no evil as you walk in the valley of death' mean?

Asked by Wiki User

One thought:

Looking at the next line after this one, in Psalm 23:4, gives us a clue what is meant. It tells us that we need not be afraid, because God is with us, to comfort us (the "rod and staff" are actual items used in shepherding, to correct, direct and protect the sheep, so they well picture God's loving care for his 'sheep-like'(humble/teachable) people). It means that no matter what trial we face, even death, we do not need to be afraid, if we have a relationship with God. Psalm 27:1 tells us that God is the stronghold of our lives, our light and our salvation. If WE do our part to search for Him(Acts 17:26+27), and carefully try to do what He wants us to do(1 John 5:2+3), NOTHING can separate us from God's love (Romans 8:38+39). This is why God tells us NOT to be afraid. He is with us to fortify us and help us, figuratively holding our hand to the end of the trial, or our lives (the 'valley of death').

Similarities of Death Valley and dead sea?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They are both below sea level. They both normally have extremely higher air pressure which means the air molecules are extremely dense and the air is really heavy. They both have higher temperatures then the surrounding land due to the sun hitting so many air molecules. They are both in a hot and dry climate. They also both have a high concentrated solution water source since they are like a bowl where everything sinks to it and that there is no other elevation lower than it. Death valley is usually a dried land but the only water source it has may be in badwater basin. The shores of the dead sea is much lower than the shores in the ocean. The water in the dead sea is so concentrated with solutes that it is much denser than a human body so that is why people can float on it. Water can usually never go out of the dead sea, the only way to get out is to be evaporated. If death valley and the dead sea were not so hot and dry they may be a bigger and deeper lake or lagoon.

What plants live in Death Valley?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To survive for a short period of time in Death Valley, we must find water - but our bodies can only process fresh water. People perspire, allowing the evaporating water to pull the heat away from our bodies, but then we must replace the lost water. It would be helpful if you had a sharp object, such as a knife, to cut open a cactus. Because cacti absorb water to survive, they will be full of fresh water. You will need some kind of container to retain this water.

Our activity can also be timed to avoid the hottest part of the day. We may share some habits with desert wildlife to beat the heat and dryness, but our real success comes from our ability to change our surroundings to meet our needs. We could try not to move around much or do lots of physical activity during the day, as we would very rapidly overheat and dehydrate. If a thin, white sheet was available, it would be a good idea to dig under the sand (where it is cooler and more humid), and lie there, with the sheet covering you. The light colour will reflect the sun and protect you from it.

It is important to remember that it becomes very cold during the night, and therefore it might be wise to act nocturnal to stay warm during the nights. It would not be a good idea to stay in self-made burrows or under the sand at this time, but rather stay on the hotter sand.

Of course, however good you are adapting to and surviving hot, arid conditions, we will never be able to survive as well as its wildlife residents. We would last, at most, a few days, and therefore without rescue it would be impossible to live there for longer than a month.
