We all know that
The taste of the sea water is salty
But different seas
The degree of saltiness of the sea water is also different
And the saltiestest in the world
That is, the sea with the highest salinity is the Red Sea
The first thing that comes to mind for many people is the Dead Sea
But the Dead Sea is not really a sea
It's a huge lake
And his salinity is only 33 percent
There is still a bit of a gap with 43 percent of the Red Sea
The Red Sea is in ancient Greek
The ocean is called Red
In addition, large areas of red algae often appear in the Red Sea
Make the Red Sea appear red
Hence the name Red Sea
The Red Sea sits between Africa and the Arabian Peninsula
Desert on both sides
Rivers are scarce
There is no fresh water injection
Add to that the perennial sweltering heat
The sea temperature is high
As a result, the annual evaporation is much greater than the amount of precipitation
This causes more and more salt in the seawater to accumulate
And the Red Sea is slender and narrow
One end was intercepted by the Suez Canal
At the other end is the Bab el-Mandeb Strait
This makes it difficult to interchange the inner seawater with the low salinity of the seawater outside
This eventually led to the Red Sea becoming the saltiest sea
