Which freshwater lake feeds the Jordan River?

Which freshwater lake feeds the Jordan River?

• A. Red Sea
• B. Sea of Galilee
• C. Mediterranean Sea
• D. Dead Sea

Answer: (B)

The main source of the Jordan River is the Sea of Galilee, a freshwater lake in northern Israel. Water from rainfall and springs fills this lake, and its southern outflow becomes the Jordan River, which then runs south toward the Dead Sea. The other options aren’t sources of the Jordan: the Dead Sea is downstream and saline, while the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea are seas, not freshwater lakes feeding the river.
