  1. DEAD SEA The lowest spot on earth

  2. BACKGROUND • Located in the Middle East, between Jordan and Israel. • Top surface of Dead Sea is over 1300 feet below sea level. Bottom surface of the Dead Sea level is over 2300 feet below sea level. • Total surface including water channels are 15.879 square miles.

  3. IN HISTORY • It is biblical (Salt Sea) of Moab where (the lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire) lies hidden deep with its mysterious waters. • Dead Sea had been mentioned through out history under different names. Such as “The Sea”; the “Eastern Sea” the “Sea of Araba”, and Joseph called it the “Asphaltic Sea”. • Arabs called it the “Sea Of Loot”. • Greeks called it “Dead Sea”.

  4. WHY DEAD SEA? • There are no living creatures living in, or near the shores. • You will see crystals of salt covering everything. • It is the saltiest natural sea in the world. • It is easy for you to float in the Dead Sea Water because of its high density.

  5. WATER SOURCES • Water continuously feeds Dead Sea from holly Jordan river where JESUS has his birth baptism. • Water also comes from surrounding mountains. • No rivers gets out of the Dead Sea. • Rain falls on Dead Sea are less than 50 ml / year!

  6. SALTS • Temperature is as high as 40 centigrade on average in summer days. • When water evaporates, it leaves all rich minerals in the sea. • Any living fish originating from outside will quickly be coated with salt crystals and then tossed onto shore resulting into more salt.

  7. SALT CONCENTRATIONS • Dead Sea water is 10 times saltier than the ocean water. • Salts concentrated through water evaporation. • Salts carried into the river going to the Dead Sea will not escape the sea, salts are kept and accumulated. • When the surface becomes saturated of salt, salt precipitates out, in result of high concentrations while going to the depth. Piles of salt can reache 1300 feet!

  8. MINERALS IN • Dead Sea contains 26 minerals including Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, Bromine, Chlorine and Sulfur. • 12 elements available in Dead Sea are not available in other sea or ocean. • Water is pumped out from the Sea to artificial pools in order to evaporate water and get concentrated salts, which is done in the south part of the sea as the water depth there is less.

  9. COMPARISON • Concentrations of Salts in Dead Sea compared with ocean and Mediterranean Sea water in mg per liter of water.

  10.
