Question

Why is the dead sea is called as dead sea?

Answer 1

The Dead Sea got its name because there is such a high salt level it's impossible for any animal life to grow there. There may be bacteria called halophilis, an archeabactera that can survive in extreme conditions.


Metaphorically, the Dead Sea is called so, because water does not flow out of it. All rivers lead in, none go out- as if the river dies in it.

Also, because the water does not give "life" to any animals/birds/humans as it is non-potable water & no life is sustained by it.

I am sure this will help you!!

Best of luck!
