qroqqa commented on the word holomictic
Before 1979, the Dead Sea was meromictic, meaning it was permamently stratified into layers that didn't mix. Following the severe reduction of fresh water flowing into its upper reaches it became holomictic – essentially mixing to the same composition throughout its depth.
