Dead Sea, which lies
between Jordan and Israel, is lowest lake in world. It is about 397 metres below sea level and
it contains saltiest water in world. This is because several rivers carrying
minerals (including salt) flow into
lake, but none flow out of it.
Surface water
evaporates, but all minerals remain behind.
Salt makes it easy
for swimmers to float – you can even read
book while floating on your back. In fact
lake contains six times more salt than ordinary
sea water so swimmer’s body is six times more buoyant than
usual.
