The following sea has almost completely disappeared because of irrigation in the area
<u>The Aral Sea</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
- The Aral Sea is actually a huge lake, located between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in Central Asia.
- In recent decades, much of the water which used to flow into the Aral Sea has been taken for growing crops. As a result, the Aral Sea has shrunk dramatically. Nearly two-thirds of the lake has vanished since 1970.
- Once the fourth largest lake in the world, Central Asia's shrinking Aral Sea has reached a new low, thanks to decades-old water diversions for irrigation and a more recent drought.
- Satellite imagery released this week by NASA shows that the eastern basin of the freshwater body is now completely dry.
- Today, more people than ever rely on irrigation from rivers that should instead flow into the sea, and the impact of irrigation is compounded by another new factor: climate change. This makes the Aral Sea very sensitive to variations in its water balance caused either by climate or by humans.

Short answer : <span>We were helping out a friend.
</span>
The Russians’ coffers were drained from the Crimean War, and rather than let their imperialist neighbor England (Canada) take it, they convinced the United States to buy it. So, they sold it to a friend so an enemy couldn’t take it.
Anyways, Russia had long ago extracted the resources they wanted, so it was just a matter of time before they shuttered the costly colonies and the Russian American Company.
There are still at least two Russian colonial buildings standing in Alaska. The best preserved is by far the Russian Bishop’s House in Sitka, Alaska.
The U.S. National Park Service now owns the house that the Russian American Company built for the Russian Orthodox Church with the money they were raking in from sea otter pelts sold to China.
