DEAD SEA

The dead sea is one of the world's saltiest water bodies and its salinity does not allow any animals to live there, hence its name. It is 378m deep, 67km long and 18km wide. People use the salt and minerals from the dead sea to make facial or body care products. So why is it possible that we naturally float on the dead sea? There is a high content of salt in the dead sea, therefore, the water is denser. As a result, we are more buoyant in the dead sea so we are able to float and not sink.
