Endorheisk bassin
Et endorheisk bassin er en indsø uden naturlige udløb. Resultatet bliver en ophobning af salt, fordi vandet forsvinder via fordampning. Endorheiske bassiner har ofte højere saltkoncentration end havet.
De vigtigste endorheiske bassiner og søer
Kortet viser, udover afvandingsområder og vandskel til verdenshavene, også de største endorheiske bassiner (i mørkegråt) og endorheiske søer (i sort).
Eksempler på endorheiske bassiner
- Det døde hav - på grænsen mellem Israel og Jordan
- Kaspiske hav - på grænsen mellem Europa og Asien

Ocean drainage.png
I made this map and hereby release it into the public domain. It shows the drainage basins for the major oceans and seas; grey areas are endorheic basins that do not drain to the ocean. Data is from the USGS Hydro1k project; information for Saskatchewan corrected by information from the Commission for Environmental Cooperation -- Citynoise
Description in large font size is used for oceans, in smaller font size is used for mediterranean seas. Only these mediterranean seas are listed which correspond to the definition of german Geographer Ernst Neef: A mediterranean sea is a sea between two Continents.
