Q. Which of the following bodies of water is recognized as the lowest point on land on Earth?
Answer: Dead Sea
Notes: The Dead Sea, situated between Israel and Jordan, is the lowest point on land, at 430 meters below sea level. It is a unique salt lake, known for its high salinity, which prevents most aquatic life. The surrounding region features the Jordan Rift Valley, part of the larger Syrian-African Rift system, and is rich in historical significance, including sites like Masada and the Dead Sea Scrolls caves.
