ULwandle Olufile lusemngceleni wezifunda ezimbili - iJordani ne-Israel. Leli chibi eline-hypermineralized liyindawo eyingqayizivele ngempela eMhlabeni. Kulesi sihloko, sizobheka amaqiniso athakazelisayo mayelana Nesimangaliso Esinosawoti seplanethi yethu.
1. Ubuso nogu loLwandle Olufile kutholakala ebangeni elingamamitha angama-423 ngaphansi kwezinga lolwandle. Leli yiphuzu eliphansi kakhulu eMhlabeni. 2. Njengoba luqukethe usawoti ongu-33,7%, lolu lwandle lungolunye lwemithombo yamanzi anosawoti omningi. Kodwa-ke, eLake Assal (e-Djibouti, e-Afrika) nakwamanye amachibi aseMcMurdo Dry Valleys e-Antarctica (Lake Don Juan), ukugxila okuphezulu kukasawoti kuye kwabhalwa. 3. Amanzi oLwandle Olufile anosawoti ophindwe izikhathi ezingu-8,6 kunolwandle. Ngenxa yaleli zinga likasawoti, izilwane azihlali ezindaweni zalolu lwandle (yingakho igama). Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinto eziphilayo zasemanzini ezinkulu, izinhlanzi nezitshalo nazo azikho olwandle ngenxa yamazinga aphezulu kasawoti. Nokho, inani elincane lamabhaktheriya kanye nesikhunta se-microbiological zikhona emanzini oLwandle Olufile.
4. Isifunda sasoLwandle Olufile sesiphenduke isikhungo esikhulu socwaningo lwezempilo nokwelashwa ngenxa yezizathu eziningi. Ukwakheka kwamanzi amaminerali, okuqukethwe okuphansi kakhulu kwempova nezinye izinto ezingezwani nomoya emkhathini, umsebenzi ophansi we-ultraviolet wemisebe yelanga, ukucindezela komkhathi okuphezulu ekujuleni okukhulu - zonke lezi zici zihlangene zinomphumela wokuphulukisa emzimbeni womuntu. NgokweBhayibheli, uLwandle Olufile lwaluyisiphephelo seNkosi uDavide. Lesi ngesinye sezindawo zokungcebeleka zokuqala emhlabeni, izinhlobonhlobo zemikhiqizo zahlinzekwa kusuka lapha: kusuka kuma-balms okugcoba izidumbu zaseGibhithe kuya kumanyolo we-potash. 5. Ubude bolwandle buyi-67 km, futhi ububanzi (esikhungweni salo esikhulu kunazo zonke) buyi-18 km.
