Try swimming in the Dead Sea and
you can’t help but fl oat. This salt
lake, bordered by Jordan, Israel and
the West Bank, is nearly 10 times
as salty as the oceans. In recent
decades diversion of freshwater
streams has made it even saltier, and
since 1979 scientists have observed
salt crystals “snowing” down,
depositing up to 10cm on the sea
fl oor every year. It’s the only place
in the world where this happens and
now scientists think they know why.
During summer the Dead Sea
separates into two layers: a warm
super-salty layer sitting above a
cooler less-salty layer. The research,
published in Water Resources
Research , shows that when small
waves break this boundary they
encourage salty fi ngers to penetrate
into the lower layer. Warm water
holds more salt than cool water , so
as the fi ngers cool they produce salt
crystals that then rain down on the
sea fl oor.
The mechanism helps explain
the mystery of some of the massive
ancient salt deposits found in the
Earth’s crust, such as the thick salt
layer underneath the Mediterranean
sea. During a period when the Strait
of Gibraltar closed ( about 6 m years
ago) the Med would have had similar
properties to the Dead Sea.
