Topography
Topographic Features along the Dead Sea Fault are shown below. The faculty zone
itself follows the trend of the Jordan River less than 400 m above sea level. The highest
elevations flanking the fault zone are above 1500 meters. The surface of Dead Sea is
the lowest point on Earth, but the solid Earth at the bottom of the sea is over 800m
below sea level. (Map from http://mapsof.net/)
