Answer:
Between 2000 and 2012, the Aral Sea has experienced less water income, increased salinity, significant loss of water, the formation of separate parts, and huge loss of biodiversity.
Explanation:
The Aral Sea, once one of the largest in the world, has experienced a tragic story since 2000. Once a great and vibrant lake, it came on the verge of drying out and dissapearing from the map. The reasons for this have been the smaller water income, loss of water, increased salinity, formation of smaller separated lakes, and loss of biodiversity.
Because of agriculture, namely, cotton farming, the water supply to the lake has been significantly lowered, leading to larger evaporation than water income. The lake started to lose its water rapidly, and by becoming shallower its temperature rose, so the evaporation became even larger, the salinity increased, and from one large lake, few smaller ones have formed because a large portion of it dried out. Because of all of the aforementioned things the biodiversity suffered badly.
The moon dictates the length of the day, the rhythm of the seasons and the stability of earth. Without it the day would be a lot shorter (6-12hrs) and there could be more than 1000 days in a year!
Answer:
luminous intensity is a measure of the wavelength-weighted power emitted by a light source in a particular direction per unit solid angle, based on the luminosity function, a standardized model of the sensitivity of the human eye. The SI unit of luminous intensity is the candela (cd), an SI base unit.
Explanation:
