Why is it called the Dead Sea?

This sea is called the Dead Sea because due to the high amount of salt in it, no creature or plant can survive in it. There are no birds, fish, or plants around it. The percentage of salt in it is about 35%, which neither any plant nor any fish can survive. Its water is 10 times saltier than normal seas. This is the reason why its name is Dead Sea.
