Answer:

Because of diversion and climate change

Explanation:

The Syr Darya and the Amur Darya have been diverted due to extensive irrigation projects, that later failed. One of the Amur Darya's sources, the Zeravshan river, formerly reached the Amur Darya. The problem worsens further due to climate change, which evaporates the water.

edit: Clarification, the Syr Darya and the Amur Darya are the Aral Sea's sources

irina [24]

Answer:

It changes the angle.

Seasonality affects the angle of the sun above the horizon by making it higher in the summer and lower in the winter.
