Summary

DescriptionDead Sea - 3286989646.jpg	English: The Dead Sea (Arabic: البَحْر المَيّت, , "Dead Sea";Hebrew: יָם הַ‏‏מֶ‏ּ‏לַ‏ח, , "Sea of Salt") is a salt lake between Israel and the West Bank to the west, and Jordan to the east. It is 420 m below sea level, and its shores are the lowest point on the surface of the Earth on dry land. The Dead Sea is 330 m deep, the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. It is also the world's second saltiest body of water, after Lake Asal in Djibouti, with 30 percent salinity. It is 8.6 times saltier than the ocean. Experts say that it is nine times saltier than the Mediterranean Sea (31.5% salt versus 3.5% for the Mediterranean). This salinity makes for a harsh environment where animals cannot flourish and boats cannot sail. The Dead Sea is 67 km long and 18 km wide at its widest point. It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley, and its main tributary is the Jordan River.‎
