Question 8 • Human Geography - SS2045

Describe the unique features of the Dead Sea. Where is this lake located? How is it changing?

Answer

Answer:

The Dead Sea is an extremely salty lake in the Jordan Rift Valley, between Jordan on the east and Israel and the West Bank on the west. It is known for its high salinity, which makes people unusually buoyant, and for being at the lowest elevation on Earth's land surface. The lake is shrinking as less water flows into it and evaporation continues.
