The Dead Sea has abnormally high salinity due to its location in a closed basin where water inflow from the Jordan River and mineral-rich springs exceeds evaporation. High temperatures and low rainfall in the region lead to rapid evaporation, concentrating salts and minerals in the water. Additionally, the mineral content is further increased by the geological composition of the surrounding area, which contributes various salts to the sea. As a result, the Dead Sea’s salinity is about ten times greater than that of typical ocean water.
