The uniqueness of the Dead Sea

One of its uniqueness, the Dead Sea is not fused or not connected with the ocean. He was like a lake, but the water is very salty, it is much more salty than normal seawater. In fact, the water felt thick and oily skin when touched. Dead Sea is a salty lake (not the sea, because it is on the mainland), the term in use because the area of sea that reached its 76 kilometer length, and has a width of 16 Kilometers, so can imagine if the lake is so vast. The lake is called the Dead Sea because there is no single form of life that can survive in salt water which yield 32%, compared with the Mediterranean sea which is only 3% saline.

Dead Sea in Jordan Rift valley. Geologically, the Dead Sea formed three million years ago when small cracks occur in Jordan Riff, so that sea water into and trapped in it. Because dry air makes the level of mineral concentration in the trapped water becomes high, and forming lakes with highest salt content. If we swim in this lake, we will be floating. Salinity in the ocean is so big it makes us able to float on it without much difficulty swimming, even while reading the book though. Strange indeed, but that's natural events. It is said that dead sea salt in it reaches 32% (that means 9 times that of normal marine salinity of about 3.5%). Due to its salinity levels are then all objects can float on top.

To float away, just back and relaxes the body. The more the body relaxes as if weightless, floating sensation is also increasingly felt our bodies. Much like hollow items above sea level, swinging back and forth the little waves rolling toward shore. Emptying the mind while drifting further adds to the sensation of pleasure of the Dead Sea is far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. No fish live there, and die when exposed to sea water will be very sore eyes. Behind it all muddy sea has its own benefits for women in particular, as a skin (Sea Mud Body Scrub). In addition to the salt content is extremely high, Dead Sea water also contains potassium, magnesium, and bromine. Maybe that's why the Dead Sea mud is considered to be very efficacious. The main objective of tourists visiting the Dead Sea lake, but because of its history, mainly because he wanted to lubricate the body with mud from the lake is rich in salts and minerals essential for skin health and beauty.

Dead sea salt can also act as a disinfectant that can remove harmful substances from the skin. Not only water, salt and mud that contains mineral wealth, even the air in the area around the Dead Sea also contain minerals because that area is the lowest area on earth, then there is the evaporation of sea water in large quantities. Sea is located at 420 meters below sea level, which is the lowest area on the surface of the Earth (while the deepest point on the earth itself in holding the Mariana trench.) Dead Sea area is between Jordan and Israel. Dead Sea location closest to the city of Jerusalem can be achieved through the easiest area of white rocky hills of Qumran. Name of Qumran is famous as the place of discovery of the letters roll history that is stored in the Dead Sea jug-jug made of clay.
