The water in this stream forms varying currents as it makes its way downhill. In hydrology, a current in a water body is the flow of water in any one particular direction. The current varies spatially as well as temporally, dependent upon the flow volume of water, stream gradient, and channel geometry.

The driving force in stratification is gravity, which sorts adjacent arbitrary volumes of water by local density, operating on them by buoyancy and weight.A volume of water of lower density than the surroundings will have a resultant buoyant force lifting it upwards, and a volume with higher density will be pulled down by the weight which will be greater than the resultant buoyant forces ...

Lake Assal is the most saline body of water on earth after Don Juan Pond with 34.8% average salt concentration [10] (up to 40% at 20 m (66 ft) depth); higher than the 33.7% level in the Dead Sea. [ 10 ] [ 16 ] The dissolved salts include NaCl, KCl, MgCl 2 , CaCl 2 , CaSO 4 and MgBr 2 , with NaCl dominating in Lake Assal and MgCl 2 in the Dead Sea.
