Key Points
Extreme salt makes the Dead Sea unfit for most life.
Key Points / Good Practices
- The Dead Sea has a very high salt concentration.
- So much salt makes the water very dense and harsh.
- Most fish and plants cannot survive in it.
- The high density is why people float easily there.
- Look up other salty lakes, such as the Great Salt Lake.
- Note your sources and present your findings neatly.
The Dead Sea's extreme saltiness stops aquatic life; compare it with other salt lakes.
