Answer:

ARAL SEA.

Explanation:

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. But as per the images of NASA's Terra Satellite the lake is shrinking very fast as its volume has reduced to one tenth of it's actual volume. Some of the reasons behind the shrinking are:-

1. Construction of dams over the river which drain into the Aral sea.

2. Less rain.

3. Snow in the Pamir mountains.

During the french and Indian war France and Great Britain fought for control of north America territory what impact did the end
artcher [175]

In the short-term, The French-Indian War or The Seven Years War expanded the British colonial territory in North America by an enormous amount and removed potential competitors in early westward expansion. In the long-term, it resulted in extreme national debt in Britain, bringing about dictatorial control of its colonies so it could alleviate economic stress. First came the passing of the Proclamation of 1763, which stopped all westward movement by its American colonies past the Appalachian Mountains (they hoped to make Native Americans and the Spanish buy land), then several new Acts like the Stamp Act were passed which taxed goods like paper, and eventually, as some historians interpret, led to the American Revolution.
