Trifter

It is the lowest elevation on Earth’s surface on dry land at 422 meters (1385 ft) below sea level and isapproximatively 1 050 km square. But with time, other places could surpass it. The Jordan River drops into it. Normally, the medium salinity of an ocean is from 2 to 4%, but for the Dead Sea, it’s 27,5%, that’s why we can float in it. It is called like that because nothing live in it except for microbody. Rich in minerals, it is known for curing the psoriasis and the rheumatisms. It’s density is so high that we can actually float on it.

The Dead Sea doesn’t really have a future since in the 50 last years, it lost one third of it’s surface. We can now easily sea a wide cracked strip of land seperating it in two different ponds. The two biggest reasons for it to dry so rapidely is the overexploitation of the Jordan River, it only source of fresh water, for irrigation and it evaporation by factories of production of salt. To add at these reasons, we also have the fact that it rains less and less for 40 000 years already and the constant increase of it’s salinity.
