A sea of Israel is known as the Dead Sea. Why the name of the sea is ‘Dead Sea’? Let’s know some secrets related to this:
This sea is about 1375 ft and 420 meters deep from the surface of the earth and is nearly about 2400 feet below from the sea surface. It is known for its high density. The particulars of this sea are that there is no sinking. Man can float very easily without any fear.
Compared to ordinary water, its water contains 20 times more bromine, 50 times more magnesium, and 10 times more iodine. Because of this, neither this water is used for drinking, nor it can be used for salt. Due to the high concentration of salt, the aquatic creatures cannot survive in this sea. That’s why this sea is called the Dead Sea.
The Dead Sea is located between Israel and Jordan. This ocean is spread in the small area. It is known as the Arabian lake. It has always been the center of attraction for foreign tourists.

It is believed that this mud cleans up the skin and also this mud has properties to eliminate many diseases. Although freshwater comes from the rivers and streams in this ocean, the atmosphere and air are quite intense. The whole year temperature is always warm. Due to vaporization, its water is becoming less by one meter every year.
Knowing this, you must be surprised that even though no water animals live in this ocean, its water is full of many medicinal properties. It is used in the treatment of many incurable diseases. Scientists have also proved that the salt and mineral salts found in this sea can be valuable for us. Due to this, the Dead Sea is becoming a center of attraction in the form of medical tourism in Asia.
