Where is dead sea?

Answer 1

in Israel 15 miles east of Jerusalem
river Jordan drains into it.

Answer 2

Salt lake of Jordan, Palestine, and Israel, which is the lowest water surface on earth, at minus 395 metres compared to the level of the Mediterranean Sea.
The Dead Sea has an area of 1,050 km², with a length of 76 km, and a maximum width of 16 km. Maximum depth is 396 metres. The Dead Sea is geologically part of the Rift Valley system. The principal source of the Dead Sea is the Jordan River, but there are other streams feeding it too. There is no outlet for the lake, and evaporation leads to the high content of salt, as it is about 6 times more salty than the ocean water. Among the salts in the Dead Sea are sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, and magnesium bromide. There is no life in the lake.
Extraction of potash, bromine, gypsum, salt and other chemical products is one of the few effective means of utilizing the Dead Sea as a resource. Near the Dead Sea lies Qumran, where the Dead Sea scrolls were found, and the important Israeli national monument of Masada.

Answer 3

The dead sea is the Earth's lowest point not covered by ice, at 418 m (1371 feet) below sea level and falling[2], and the deepest hypersaline lake in the world, at 330 m (1083 feet) deep. It is the saltiest body of water on Earth, with a salinity of about 30 percent.[3] This is about 8.6 times greater than average ocean salinity. It measures 67 km (42 miles) long, 18 km (11 miles) wide at its widest point, and is located on the border between the West Bank, Israel, and Jordan, and lies in the Jordan Rift Valley. The main tributary is the Jordan River.

The Dead Sea has attracted interest and visitors from around the Mediterranean basin for thousands of years. It was a place of refuge for King David, one of the world's first health resorts (for Herod the Great), and it has been the supplier of products as diverse as balms for Egyptian mummification to potash for fertilizers.

In Hebrew the Dead Sea is called the Yam ha-Melakh (help·info) - meaning "sea of salt," or Yam ha-Mavet, "sea of death." In past times it was the "Eastern Sea" or the "Sea of Arava." To the Greeks, the Dead Sea was "Lake Asphaltites" (see below). In Arabic the Dead Sea is called al-Bahr al-Mayyit (help·info) ("the Dead Sea"), or less commonly Bahr Lūţ ("the Sea of Lot"). Historically, another Arabic name was the "Sea of Zoar," after a nearby town.

Answer 5

The Dead Sea is located in the Dead Sea Rift, which is part of a long fissure in the Earth's surface called the Great Rift Valley. The 6000 km (3700 mile) long Great Rift Valley extends from the Taurus Mountains of Turkey to the Zambezi Valley in southern Africa. The Great Rift Valley formed in Miocene times as a result of the Arabian Plate moving northward and then eastward away from the African Plate.
