Aral sea is a central Asian fresh water lake. I is the world's fourth largest lake and it form a centripetal drainage system as the two rivers Amu Dariya and Syr Dariya falls into it.

To promote the growth of vegetation, Aborigines

brilliants [131]

To promote the growth of vegetation, Aborigines from Australia created grass fires to encourage new growth in vegetation and to allow the wild animals to eat the new plants resulting from the grass fire. They also used grass fires in order to roast some seeds that germinate only when burned. In return, these seeds provide them food.
