[Answer] 1. What salty sea bordering Jordan and Israel is disappearing due to potash mining and increased water usage of the Jordan River?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "1. What salty sea bordering Jordan and Israel is disappearing due to potash mining and increased water usage of the Jordan River? "

...1. The Red Sea 2. Sea of Galilee 3. The Great Salt Lake 4. The Dead Sea The Dead Sea is really a lake bordering Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west. Its surface and shores are 423m (1,388') below sea level and it is considered the Earth's lowest elevation on land. The Dead Sea is 377m (1,237') deep and thus is also the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. With a salinity around 33%, the Dead Sea is 8-9 times saltier than the average ocean water. The sea is "dead" because the high content of salt makes for an environment in which virtually no animals can survive. According to scientists, from 1970-2010 the Dead Sea shrunk in total water volume by a third and is continuing to see water levels drop by estimates of up to 1.5m (4.9') per year. The Jordan River is the sea's sole water source. Population growth in Israel and Jordan causes more water to be drawn from the Jordan River, reducing the available inflow to the Dead Sea. Further damage to the water system involves the draining of portions of the Dead Sea by chemical companies mining the sea bottom for potash and other mineral deposits.
