Which of the following seas has highest salinity in the world?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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.
