Dead Sea Has FINALLY Dried Up But Now Something Has Emerged
This is a map of Southwest Asia, one of the world's most significant geographical regions. Situated between Israel and Jordan, is the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is an endorheic lake in the Jordan Rift Valley, which is formed by the Dead Sea Transform. This lateral-moving transform fault to the left runs along the tectonic plate boundary between the African and Arabian plates. It connects the East Anatolian Fault zone in Turkey to the northern end of the Red Sea Rift, offshore of Sinai's southern tip. This geological marvel is one of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth, making it a frequent destination for geoscientists and explorers. However, a recent exploration of the Dead Sea resulted in a surprising discovery that has astonished the whole scientific community. What did the scientists discover? Is there something sinister going on beneath the Dead Sea? Join us as we investigate what scientists observed at the Dead Sea that has startled them. Located in southern Israel's Judean desert, the Dead Sea is a Salt Lake that shares a border with Jordan to the east. With its origin dating back to some four million years ago, it is one of the earth’s saltiest bodies of water and is the lowest point on earth. It has an arid desert environment with year-round sunshine and moderately high temperatures, but little precipitation. It is believed that volcanic processes have led to a constant sinking of land, placing the Dead Sea at the lowest place on earth. These unique characteristics are the result of its extreme geomorphological structure and harsh desert climate. These cause frequent dramatic shifts, resulting in a landscape unlike any other in the world. Furthermore, the area's unique mineral richness of the air, soil, and water is widely famous for its therapeutic qualities, as evidenced by the fact that it has been a health resort for thousands of years.
