SALTS

• Temperature is as high as 40 centigrade on
  average in summer days.
• When water evaporates, it leaves all rich
  minerals in the sea.
• Any living fish originating from outside will
  quickly be coated with salt crystals and then
  tossed onto shore resulting into more salt.

SALT CONCENTRATIONS

• Dead Sea water is 10 times saltier than the ocean
  water.
• Salts concentrated through water evaporation.
• Salts carried into the river going to the Dead
  Sea will not escape the sea, salts are kept and
  accumulated.
• When the surface becomes saturated of salt, salt
  precipitates out, in result of high
  concentrations while going to the depth. Piles of
  salt can reache 1300 feet!

MINERALS IN

• Dead Sea contains 26 minerals including
  Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, Bromine,
  Chlorine and Sulfur.
• 12 elements available in Dead Sea are not
  available in other sea or ocean.
• Water is pumped out from the Sea to artificial
  pools in order to evaporate water and get
  concentrated salts, which is done in the south
  part of the sea as the water depth there is less.
