每天学习一个地理知识。死海是世界上最神秘的湖泊,人在湖面上居然不会下沉。死海位于亚洲的西部,在以色列、巴勒斯坦和约旦交界处,是世界著名的内陆盐湖。湖的南北长约86公里,东西宽5到16公里不等,水深约380米,总面积约810平方公里,其湖面海拔为-430.5米,是地球陆地上的最低点,因此有世界肚脐之称。由于死海地处沙漠边缘,这里气候炎热干燥,蒸发量极大,周边又无河流流出,使得盐分不断积累,湖水盐度是一般海水盐度的近十倍。这种高盐度环境让死海拥有神奇的浮力,如果在这里游泳,人能轻松漂浮于水面,不用担心下沉。另外,高盐度还导致水中没有生物存活,比如说鱼虾等水产品在这里都不存在。甚至连死海沿岸的陆地上,也很少有花草树木等生物,因此这也是人们给它起名叫死海的原因之一。
