Dead Sea

All oceans and seas have salty water. The saltiest of all is the Dead sea. It is called "Dead Sea " Because the high salinity prevents any fish or other visible aquatic organisms to live in its water. Imagine 300 grams of salt in one liter of water. Interestingly, even if a person does not know how to swim, he would not drown in this sea. He would only float in it.

Distilled Water

The water obtained through distillation is called distilled water. This water is normally pure enough for use in school science lab and medical lab.
