How and why did the dead sea get so much salt in it?

How did salt get in the Dead Sea?

  • Answer:

    The only way water gets out of the Dead Sea is through evaporation. When the water evaporates, it leaves behind all the dissolved minerals in the Sea, just making it saltier. There is continuous evaporation in the dead sea.
