This is the uniqueness of the Dead Sea, Israel - Jordan

The Dead Sea is a lake that ran in the region between Israel, the Palestinian Authority and Jordan Region. At 417.5 m below sea level, the lowest point on Earth's surface. The Dead Sea is very salty, which made ​​it impossible for living beings to live. This is the reason for its name. However, this is not really dead, because some types of bacteria can live here. Because water is so salty, people can easily float in the Dead Sea without any trouble. Travelers come from all over the world to float here.

This time I want to discuss a bit about the dead sea, not as sordid as its name, the Dead Sea is a salty lake (not the sea, because it is on the mainland), the term sea in his life due to the extent that reached 76 km in length and has a width of 16 km, so it can imagine if the lake is so vast (but this lake has undergone a narrowing and reduction of water discharge due to excessive evaporation and lack of water supply from the River Jordan). Okay, henceforth we shall call this lake the Sea.

Salinity in the ocean is so big it makes us able to float on it without much difficulty swimming, even while reading the book though! Strange indeed, but that's a natural occurrence. It is said that dead sea salt in it reached 31.5% (that means 9 times the normal sea salinity is about 3.5%. Due to its salinity levels are then all objects can float on top.

One of the stories about the origins of this sea is the story of the Prophet Lut, which tells the story of how the destruction of human morality at that time (Sodom Gomorrah) that perform similar sexsual relationship, regardless of the story are all dead sea has another story from the scientific aspect of its high salinity. Due to the reduced flow of water in this sea that reached its 1 meter per year due to the amount of water coming from the river jordan many in use for irrigation purposes so that the supply to the sea is to be reduced and evaporation is very high, this is the cause why the ocean has become saltier. No fish live there, and when the dead sea water exposed to the eyes, will feel very sore.

Underneath it all, this marine mud has its own benefits for women in particular as a skin (Sea Mud Body Scrub). In addition to the salt content is extremely high, the Dead Sea water also contains potassium, magnesium, and bromium, maybe that's why the sea mud death is considered highly nutritious. Israel, Palestine and Jordan agreed to save the Dead Sea is due to the impact when there is damage to the marine ecosystem to die this will be very bad for the region, among other measures to be undertaken to supply water from the red sea to sea to die by making the canal a canal to connect the two seas are the distance is about 200 km.

Dead Sea water level is estimated to have undergone shrinkage of 392 meters below sea level to 416 meters and are declining to levels that are very alarming.
