Question

Why can nobody sink in the Dead Sea?

• A. Because the water is very shallow
• B. Because entry in the dead sea is prohibited
• C. Because water in the dead sea has the highest density
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Because water in the dead sea has the highest density

Explanation: the salt and minerals present in the sea increase the density of the sea water. Thus it is easier to swim in sea water than in fresh water. The Dead Sea has the highest salt content thus enabling even a small portion of the body submerged inside the water to balance the weight preventing the person from sinking.
