Geography: Once the fourth-largest in the world, which lake in Central Asia has shrunk by 90 percent because of drought and diversion of the rivers that once fed it?
Answer Aral Sea
Nestled between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, the Aral Sea has been slowly draining since the 1960s, when many of the rivers feeding it were diverted by the Soviets. While the desert is now thriving, much of the sea is now a graveyard for lost ships.
