The weather in Jordan

There is a magical place in the world where people can't drown, and those who can't swim can float by themselves after entering. It is the lowest lake in the world, and that is the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is not a sea. It is located in an inland salt lake in the rift valley between Palestine and Jordan. The lake is 422 meters above sea level, which is the lowest point of land exposure on the earth. It is also one of the natural waters with the highest salinity in the world. People have many questions about the Dead Sea.

The first is why the Dead Sea can't drown people. During the millions of years when the Dead Sea was formed, only the river water of the Jordan River kept pouring in, and the weather was hot, so the lake water kept evaporating and the salt in the lake kept increasing. In this high concentration of salt water, almost no living things can survive, which is the main reason why it is called the Dead Sea here. The Dead Sea is rich in salt and minerals. When the density of the lake is greater than that of the human body, people can naturally float on it.

The second is why tourists are forbidden to swim in the Dead Sea. The most famous thing about the Dead Sea is that people cannot sink. If they can't swim, that's really good news, but no one swims in the Dead Sea at all. Because the salt in the Dead Sea is very high, if the water gradually enters the eyes, it will be super uncomfortable. If there is a wound, it will really hurt people. Coupled with the huge buoyancy, people just float on it and can't swim at all. Ultra-high salt floating for a long time will turn you into a piece of bacon.

In the near future, the Dead Sea will no longer exist, and its area is also shrinking. The actual situation is really not optimistic.
