What is a dead sea?

Dead Sea is a Salt lake (or) inland sea located in a Jordan Valley. The surface of the dead sea is over 1,300 feet below the sea level. It has got the most saline water on Earth with salinity ranging from 28% to 35%. Normal sea water shows the salinity of 3 to 6%.

Hence the Dead sea is almost 6 times saltier than the normal sea water. The dead sea gets saltier as we go deep inside it. Below 300 feet inside the Dead sea the dissolved salt concentration approximates to 332 grams per kilogram of seawater and it is said to be the saturated amount of salt in water.
