    There is one big salt lake body somewhere lying near Turkey which is called Dead Sea right? They say that you actually can walk over it because of the heavy density of water and higher rate of salt content over there. Now my question is all the world along they are saying about melting ice glaciers in Arctic, ice mountains melting in Antartica (Oceania/Australasia right) and Himalayan rivers getting flooded very much. Are there any research going on to investigate any effect of Global Warming on Dead Sea?

      Seems like it's important for you :-) I can say only one thing - human race will die this millenium or next millenium and you cannot change that. It's not a pessimistic opinion, it's realistic. So you can relax, but your children or children of your childeren cannot.

        Just wondering, why did this all of a sudden caught your interest? Is there something _that_ special about the dead sea?

          This is a very popular belief that melting ice in Groenland is the cause of rivers to get flooded. It is not. The real cause is the rising temperature, that causes water to be warmer and then to expand. Make the test by yourself : put an ice cube in a glass and fill it completely with water. The ice cube will melt, but no single drop will leak from the top of the glass. This aside, I think I can remember that the dead sea gets even more dead because the floods that used to bring it water have been modified -- well, their route have been modified -- by humans. Do not blame everything on global warming.

            Actually the temperature change will make almost no difference at all. The rising water levels would be as a result of all the land-based ice which is not currently in the sea melting into the sea.

              I think your science is a little off here; Water expands when its frozen and hence why it floats (very weird behaviour), since all that ice is not in the sea nor melted then it will not have an effect on sea levels. Fill a glass of water at 1C to the brim and let it come up to 25c and see what happens.

                That is what I wrote : the water expands due to temperature. But if you have a closed system (glass) with water+ice, and the ice melts, the resulting water LEVEL is not higher than it was.

                  Near Turkey??? The Dead Sea is located between Israel and Jordan. The Dead Sea is slowly drying up due to its main water sources being diverted for other uses. Not sure if the global warming phenomenon has anything to do with the Dead Sea at this point.

                    Actually the density of the water changes with temperature: the higher the temperature, the lower the density. In physics density is the division of mass by volume, which means volume increases when density decreases because of temperature rise of water.

                      He's looking to go for a walk on it I suspect.

                        Only Jesus could walk over the waters of the Dead Sea. Why don't you Google "Dead Sea" before you post drivel like this?:doh:
