Arabia Weather - Collapse craters in the Dead Sea show a clear picture of the damage and negative impacts resulting from climate change. There has been a sharp decrease in the amount of water entering the sea, causing its surface to recede, and as a result, deep holes in the land have appeared that pose a threat to farmers, crops and investments.

Experts indicate that the formation of these craters is caused by the presence of large concentrations of salt in the layers of the earth, as a result of the decline of sea water due to the high degree of evaporation and the lack of water supplies. Under these conditions, fresh water flows from the bottom of these layers, which leads to the dissolution of salt and the formation of deep craters in the ground.

The head of the Friends of the Dead Sea Association, Saad Abu Hammour, confirmed that these holes pose a threat to agricultural areas and the lives of residents and livestock breeders. He added that this phenomenon is due to the receding waters of the Dead Sea and climate changes.

Experts stress that the best solutions to address the decline in the water level of the Dead Sea lie in international cooperation, as this cooperation plays a major role in preserving the environment and reducing the risks of climate change and its negative effects.
