The Dead Sea is being swallowed up by death knots?

The Dead Sea is drying up with incredible speed, revealing large gaps, shaped like scary "death holes".

Deaths appear more and more in the Dead Sea region, which stretches for about 76km through Israel, West Coast and Jordan. Experts say they are forming at a rate of nearly 1 hole per day. However, they have no way to know the time and mechanism of formation of these death holes.

According to Moment magazine, Israel alone now has more than 3,000 deadly holes around the Dead Sea, while this figure in 1990 was only 40 holes, since the first pit appeared in the in 1980.

Experts said that the increase of death holes is directly related to the fact that the Dead Sea is drying up at a rate of 1 meter / year.

Deaths are basically shaped like a bowl, formed when a space below the ground creates a sinking point. Subsidence is the result of a reaction between buried freshwater and salt buried underground. When fresh water dissolves salt, it creates an empty space, causing the surrounding area and above it to suddenly collapse.

In the past few decades, the dry sea salt has gradually led to more fresh water in the area that will participate in dissolving salt and creating more and more underground holes, causing subsidence. .

The World Bank (WB) has proposed a solution to dig a canal connecting the Dead Sea to the Red Sea. However, environmentalists learn to warn, this kind of intervention can end the existence of the Dead Sea.

Experts believe it is necessary to do more to highlight the difficult situation of the Dead Sea and find a possible solution. For example, to attract the world's attention to an existing challenge, artist Spencer Tunick recorded the images of the first human nudity at the Dead Sea in 2011.
