The Dead Sea
The Dead Sea has an area of 1,050 km2 with a length of 76 km and a maximum width of 16 km. Maximum depth is 396 meters. The Dead Sea is part of the Rift Valley system. The principal source is the Jordan river, but there are other streams feeding it. There is no outlet for the Dead Sea and the evaporation explains the saltiness of the water. The Dead Sea is about 6 times more saltier than the ocean water. Aside from salt in the water, there is magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, and magnesia bromide. There is no life in the Dead Sea. Potash, salt, bromine, gypsum, and other chemical products is one of the few effective means of utilizing the Dead Sea as a resource. Near the Dead Sea lies the Quaran, where the Dead Sea scrolls where found, and important Israeli national monument of Masada.
