SSC MTS 2022 PYQ — Question 33

SSC MTS - 18 July 2022 - Shift 2 • General Awareness • Q33

Manu writes about a sea which is so salty that it is very difficult to drown in it. Which sea is it?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Dead Sea.

  • The Dead Sea is landlocked and in the lowest valley on earth.
  • All the minerals of the surrounding countryside get washed into one pool, which in turn gets baked by the sun.
  • This concentrates the salts so much so that the Dead Sea becomes times as salty as the ocean, which defines why people don't drown in the dead sea.
