The Dead Sea
The Dead Sea is popular with tourists from all over the world for
it's reputed therapeutic effects. The water of the Dead Sea has ten
times the salt content of other sea water and is consequently
substantially denser. This allows anyone to easily float on Dead Sea water because of it's greater density. It's mineral
composition is also different from ocean water since only 12-18% of Dead
Sea salt is sodium chloride .
A 2006 analysis of a commercial Dead Sea Salt product measured a 2.5%
sodium chloride content; by comparison, 97% of the salt in normal ocean
water is sodium chloride.
Mineral composition
The Dead
Sea's mineral composition differs from that of ocean water,
varying with season, rainfall, depth, and temperature. In particular, the salt
in most oceans is approximately 97% sodium chloride while Dead
Sea salt is only 12-18% sodium chloride. An analysis of major ion
concentrations in the water of the Dead Sea
gave the following results.

On the other hand, the compounds used in
retail Dead Sea salt are obtained from the mineral-rich mud of the Dead Sea. Runoff streams flowing into the Dead Sea brought in large deposits of this gray-black mud
during the Holocene era. An analysis by Dr. Olga Yoffe at the Geological Survey
in Jerusalem
determined the major minerals present in this mud.
