A: In order for you to float, the water that moves out of the way to make room for you must weigh as much as you do. Since you are lighter (less dense) than water, the water pushes you up enough for you to float. The Dead Sea has a LOT of salt in it. Salt water is heavier (denser) than regular water.People can float in regular water, but since salt water is even denser, it is even easier to float in the Dead Sea. Adam. (published on 10/22/2007).

Why is the sea water salty, and not the water of the big lakes? Is the salt concentration changing over time? It is thought that the salt in the oceans stems from erosion of bedrock on continents, where the minerals from these rocks are eventually carried out by rivers to the oceans. Over time, the oceans, which act as the final sink for almost all rivers, become more salty. Rivers that don't make it to the ocean are trapped in basins known as endoheric basins, instead ending in a lake (like in the case of the Dead Sea) that also gets saltier over time.
