A person can not drown in dead sea ,why ?
explain briefly
Answers
Answer:
yes
Explanation:
because The Dead Sea water has a density of 1.24 kg/litre, which makes it hard to drown
Where is dead sea? It lies in the border of Israel and Jordan and is the lowest place on Earth.
Don't go with the name. Though it sounds very dead, its a popular tourist destination. In fact, tourists are encouraged to swim in it because it acts as a health treatment.
How did it get its name?
Originally called the salty lake, because it is full of salt, Roman Era, visitors to Judea had begun to refer to the sea as the 'Dead Sea', as they were mostly struck with how the waters were devoid of all life-forms, whether plants or living creatures.
So, there's no fear of sharks, and most of the tourists enjoy a mineral rich swim like mud treatments and salt baths which leads to many health benefits.
Biblically, the Dead Sea was a place of refuge for King David. It was one of the world's first health resorts (for Herod the Great), and it has been the supplier of a wide variety of products, from balms for Egyptian mummification to potash for fertilizers.
The Dead Sea is landlocked and in the lowest valley on earth. All the minerals of the surrounding countryside get washed into one pool, which in turn gets baked by the sun. This concentrates the salts so much so that the Dead Sea becomes times as salty as the ocean, which defines why people don't drown in the dead sea.
It's 10 times more salty than the Mediterranean and three times more salty the Great Salt Lake in Utah,
The more salt is dissolved in water, the denser it becomes.
Objects which drop in water stop sinking when they displace a mass of water equal to their body mass.
In dense, salty water, a little body displaces a lot of mass, and most of the body stays out of the water so, it's hard to drown a person when most of their body is floating on top of the water.
The Dead Sea water has a density of 1.24 kg/litre, which makes swimming similar to floating.
In 2010, 21 people had to be pulled from the sea by lifeguards because it is facing massive evaporation.
There are two more reasons why people are dying in the Dead Sea, becoming a dangerous place to be
1. People might poison themselves with salt. Massive doses of salt hurt the heart and kidneys and cause the body to shut down
2. The fact that you can't put your foot on the ground acts as a danger because when someone starts drowning with their head inside, the only way to save themselves is to put your feet on the ground and swimmers know how difficult it is.
