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

The dead sea is also called the sea of salt or the salt lake, borders Jordan in the east and Israel on the west bank, the Jordan River is the main tributary of this zone. It is 304 meters in-depth, with salinity fluctuating from 31 to 37 parts per million. It has a catchment area of 41,650 km square.

Studies show that the dead sea is shifting at a rate of 605 kilometers square, due to the presence of a left lateral moving transform fault.

Here rainfall is scarce about 100 mm in northern parts.

It forms a landlocked lake and has a heavier salt deposit.

Thought it has high salt content in it still minute quantities of bacteria and microbial fungi are found in this lake.

The sea is sharing very fast and it's being overtaken by the Jordan river in 1930 it had a surface area of about 1030 km and in 2016 it was reduced to 605 km square.

Explanation:

The Dead Sea is a lake that lies at the mouth of the Jordan River. The sea borders Israel, Jordan, and the West Bank. It is the lowest point on the Earth’s surface below sea level. It is also one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. The Dead Sea is largely uninhabitable for fish and other marine creatures. Many minerals are extracted from the sea, and this high mineral content makes the sea’s water very buoyant. Because of droughts and the overuse of water supplies, the Dead Sea’s level has gone down over time. Its mineral content continues to grow because the sea does not have an outlet.
