The Dead Sea is a landlocked salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel to the west. Its surface and shores are 1,412 feet (430 meters) below sea level, Earth’s lowest elevation on land. The Dead Sea is 50 miles (80 km) long and 9 miles (15 km) wide at its widest point. It has an average depth of 1,292 feet (395 meters) and a maximum depth of 3,372 feet (1,028 meters).
The Dead Sea is called the dead sea because of its high salinity. The high salinity makes it impossible for marine life to thrive in the sea. The Dead Sea is also one of the world’s saltiest bodies of water.
The Dead Sea is so called because it has a high salt content, which means that the water is dense and sinks to the bottom. The density of the water also makes it impossible for fish to live in its depths.
