Located at the junction of Israel, Palestine and Jordan, the Dead Sea is the lowest lake in the world, with an altitude of -430.5 meters. The deepest part of the lake is 380.29 meters, and the elevation of the deepest lake bed is -800. 1 12 meters. It is also the third largest saline water body on earth, second only to Lake Tangjuan in Antarctica and Lake Gatler in Ethiopia.
The Dead Sea is located in the Jordan Rift Valley, the Great Rift Valley between Israel, Palestine and Jordan. It is 86 kilometers long from north to south, 5 to 16 kilometers wide from east to west, and the deepest part is 380.29 meters. The coast of the Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth where land is exposed, and it is called "the navel of the world". Seen from a distance, the Dead Sea looks like a two-tailed fish. Under the sunlight, the sea looks like an ancient bronze mirror. 1967 after the Israeli-Arab war, the Israeli army has been occupying the whole West Bank.
According to the data of the World Environmental Protection Organization, the water level of the Dead Sea is decreasing at a rate of 3.3 feet (about 1 m) every year. With the decrease of water quantity, the salt concentration in the Dead Sea has greatly increased.
The Dead Sea is a famous saltwater lake in southwest Asia. Its surface is 392 meters below the Mediterranean sea level, which is the lowest place in the world. Because of its high temperature, strong evaporation and high salinity, it reaches 25%~30%. It is said that except for a few microorganisms, aquatic plants, fish and other organisms can not survive, so it is named the Dead Sea. When the flood came, fish and shrimp in the Jordan River and other streams were washed into the Dead Sea. Because of the high salt content and the serious lack of oxygen in the water, these fish and shrimp will all die.
