The Dead Sea

The Dead Sea



This time I want to discuss a bit 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 marine life due to its width reaches 76 km in length and has a width of 16 km, so get in imagine if the lake is so vast (but this lake has been narrowed and the reduction of water flow due to excessive evaporation and lack of supply of water from the River Jordan). Okay, let's call him henceforth Laut.Laut lake is at 420 feet below sea level which is the lowest region in the Earth's surface (whereas the deepest point on the earth itself on hold by mariana trench.) Dead Sea located between Jordan and Israel territory .
Levels of salt in the ocean is so big it makes us able to float on top without hard difficult to swim, even while reading the book though! Strange indeed, but that's a natural occurrence. It is said that the levels of salt in the Dead Sea has reached 31.5% (that is, 9 times out of normal marine salinity of about 3.5%. Due to its salinity levels are then all the objects can float on top.
One story about the origin of this sea is the story of the people of Prophet Lut, which tells the story of how the moral breakdown that time (Sodom Gomorrah) that perform similar sexsual relationship, regardless of the story is all dead sea has a different story in terms of science, namely the its high salinity. There was a decrease in the ocean's water discharge reaching its 1 meter per year due to the amount of water coming from the river jordan much in use for irrigation purposes so that the supply to the ocean is reduced and its evaporation is very high, this is why the sea became salty. There is no fish that live in it, and die when exposed to sea water will be very sore eyes. Behind it all sea mud has its own benefits for women especially as a skin (Sea Mud Scrub). Addition salt content is very high, Dead Sea water also contains potassium, magnesium, and bromium, maybe that's why dead sea mud This is considered very efficacious. Israel, Palestine and Jordan agreed to save the Dead Sea is due to the impact in the event of damage to the marine ecosystem off it will be very bad for the region, among other measures to be undertaken to supply water from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea to create a channel to connect the two seas canal which distance of about 200 km, surface water of the Dead Sea is estimated to have experienced shrinkage of 392 meters below sea level to 416 meters and is declining to a level that is very worrying.
