Question:

Which of the following seas has highest salinity in the world?

Options:

Dead sea

Black sea

Red sea

Mediterranean sea

Correct Answer:

Dead sea

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1: Dead sea

The Dead Sea is a salt lake located between Israel and Jordan. Due to very high evaporation and almost no outlet, salts accumulate in the water. As a result, its salinity is extremely high (about 34% salt), which is much greater than that of normal seas and oceans.
