The reasons behind floating in the Dead Sea

The sea is very different than the others. Suppose you dive into a pond, river, or ocean. If you don’t swim, you will naturally sink. But in this Dead Sea you can stay afloat without moving your arms and legs. You can’t drown even if you try a thousand times.

As it is located in the arid region of Arabia, it is more prone to evaporation from lakes. And the rainfall there is just a name. Therefore, the salt content of the Dead Sea water is increasing day by day due to the accumulation of riverine salt.

Growing up it now stands in a place where the specific gravity of its water is greater than the specific gravity of the whole human body. As a result, if a person jumps into its water, it will not sink anymore, it will remain floating.

No bird sign:

When visiting the Dead Sea, it is not surprising to see no birds there. Because no birds come and go over this lake. In the abominable salt water of this lake, not even a single insect can breed. And so if there are no fish, insects, birds can come.
