The water in the dead sea has a high concentration of salt, so it has a higher density than normal sea water and a much higher density than regular water. With a higher density the upthrust (force upwards) in the water is larger so it can support more weight than other water.
The extreme salinity - saltiness - means the water there has a higher density than regular sea water. and the higher the density the greater the buoyancy.
If you compare the density of sea water, and then compared the extremely salty Dead Sea, you will find that the more salt in the water, the higher is the density. Which is why you can float on the Dead Sea while reading a newspaper (which I once saw demonstrated in a documentary). Also, a ship will float lower on a fresh water lake, and float higher on salt water.
because it has so much salt in it that it enables the body to float instead of sinking in the water
yes the salt with water is denser . The density of salt water is more as compared to plain water. take the example of dead sea also called the Salt Sea, a person does not drown in dead sea due to high salinity. But in normal sea one would be drowned.
the more salt in water the more bouyant an object becomes the salt makes the more denser therefore objects that are of a lesser density will tend to float on the dead sea
The Dead Sea has a great density due to its high salt content, which is about 10 times saltier than the ocean. This high salt concentration makes the water more dense, causing objects to float easily on its surface.
The lowest density of sea water is typically found in the surface waters in tropical regions, where there is high temperature and low salinity. This is because warmer water is less dense than colder water, and water with lower salinity is less dense than water with higher salinity.
the density of sea water increases as salinity increases and temperature decreases
depth and salinity increases density of sea water increases
it increases the density of the water, making objects float easier. ex. the dead sea.
Where does the water come from in the dead sea and what are the names of the rivers and tributaries that flow into the dead sea?
