Location of the Dead Sea

The Dead Sea is located at the bottom of Israel, which is the northern part of the East African Rift Valley downward, is a land lake filled with a lot of salt, located in Israel, Palestine and Jordan between the bottom of the Jordan Valley, its east is the Jordanian plateau, the west is the Jewish mountains, water mainly from the Jordan River, every year will fill a lot of water into the Dead Sea, in addition to four small rivers to the Dead Sea inside the water, its with As with most lakes, the water level changes regularly. The Dead Sea is also the lowest point of the world's land mass.

The Dead Sea contains a lot of salt, mainly because its water contains a lot of minerals, and the water will continue to evaporate, the minerals will not, so the other side of the formation of today's salt lake, of course, want to form such water quality needs to meet the following two conditions, first of all, the temperature needs to be high enough, followed by not much precipitation, and these two points have met the Dead Sea, so it has become the third salt water lake.

The future of the Dead Sea is worrying, this is because its precipitation decreases year after year leading to the lake slowly becoming less and less salty, can meet its signs of drying up in the near future, so such a peculiar lake needs to be cared for by us humans. The Dead Sea is called the sea, but it is a lake, because the geography of the special environment so that we lie on it will not sink, this we know from the books as a child.
