The Dead Sea (ASTER), The Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth at 418 meters below sea level, and also one of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth with a salinity of about 300 parts-per-thousand (nine times greater than ocean salinity)., The Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth at 418 meters below sea level, and also one of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth with a salinity of about 300 parts-per-thousand (nine times greater than ocean salinity). It is located on the border between Jordan and Israel, and is fed by the Jordan River. The Dead Sea is located in the Dead Sea Rift, formed as a result of the Arabian tectonic plate moving northward away from the African Plate. The mineral content of the Dead Sea is significantly different from that of ocean water, consisting of approximately 53% magnesium chloride, 37% potassium chloride and 8% sodium chloride. In the early part of the 20th century, the Dead Sea began to attract interest from chemists who deduced that the Sea was a natural deposit of potash and bromine. From the Dead Sea brine, Israel and Jordan produce 3.8 million tons potash, 200,000 tons elemental bromine, 45,000 tons caustic soda, 25,000 tons magnesium metal, and sodium chloride. Both countries use extensive salt evaporation pans that have essentially diked the entire southern end of the Dead Sea. The ASTER image mosaic was acquired on May 22, 2006, covers an area of 18.5 x 48.1 km, and is centered near 31.4 degrees north latitude, 35.4 degrees east longitude.

死海(ASTER)は、海面下418メートルの地球上の最低地点であり、また、地球上の塩分濃度が約300ppm/sd(海水塩濃度よりも9倍高い)、死海は海面下418メートルの地球上の最低地点であり、塩分濃度が約300ppm/sd (海水塩分濃度が約9倍)、地球上の最も塩分濃度の高い水域の1つでもある。ヨルダンとイスラエルの国境に位置し、ヨルダン川によって供給されている。死海は、アラビアプレートがアフリカプレートから北に移動している結果形成された死海リフトにある。死海の鉱塩は海水と大きく異なり、塩化マグネシウムが約53%、塩化カリウムが37%、塩化ナトリウムが8%である。20世紀初頭、死海はカリウムと臭素の天然鉱床であると考えられていた化学者たちから関心を集め始めた。死海からイスラエルとヨルダンは380万トン、臭素元素20万トン、炭酸塩45,000トン、マグネシウム金属25,000トン、塩化ナトリウムを産出している。両国は、死海の南端全体を実質的に浸食した広範な塩分蒸発鍋を使用している。ASTER画像モザイクは2006年5月22日に取得され、18.5 x 48.1 kmの面積を占め、北緯31.4度、東経35.4度付近に集中している。
