Correct option is A
The correct answer is A
Explaination:
· The Dead Sea (A) is often referred to as the "Salt Sea" due to its exceptionally high salinity. Its water is nearly 10 times saltier than ocean water.
· This high salt concentration is caused by the hot, dry climate, which leads to a very high rate of evaporation, leaving the salts and minerals behind.
· The extremely high density of the water due to the salt content allows people to easily float on its surface.
Information Booster:
· The Dead Sea is a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west.
· It is also the lowest point on Earth on land, with its shores and surface being more than 400 meters below sea level.
· The Dead Sea's mineral-rich mud is highly sought after for its therapeutic and cosmetic properties.
Additional Knowledge:
· Caspian Sea (B): This is the world's largest inland body of water or largest lake by area, generally classified as an endorheic basin (having no outlet to the ocean). While saline, it is not primarily known as the "Salt Sea."
· Red Sea (C): A seawater inlet of the Indian Ocean, famous for its rich marine life and diving spots. Its name may come from the seasonal bloom of Trichodesmium erythraeum algae, which turns the water reddish-brown.
· Mediterranean Sea (D): A large sea connecting to the Atlantic Ocean. It is generally less saline than the Dead Sea.
