The name roughly translates as "Sea of Islands", referring to over 1,100 islands that had dotted its waters; in the Turkic languages aral means "island, archipelago".

Answer 2

Aral Seal has shrunk immensely and dried up due to 'human activities'.

EXPLANATION:

The Aral Sea is located in 'Central Asia', between Northern Uzbekistan and the 'Southern part of Kazakhstan', which was once the fourth biggest lake in the world, today, it scarcely exists.

The lake that was known as a sea due to its salinity and size has reduced/shrunk to a mere 20 percent of its actual size. The Soviet Union (SU) considered cotton crops more precious than the fishing economy, which had been the mainstay of the SU economy.

However in the 1960s, SU diverted two main rivers Syr Darya and Amu Darya to irrigate farmland which led to the shrinking of the Aral Sea. These hand-made irrigation canals transported water from Syr Darya and Amu Darya to give impetus to cotton farming and production.

Prior to the shrinking of the lake, the Aral Sea produced about 25,000 to 45,000 tons of fish every year. This was reduced to as much as 1000 tons of fish each year thus impacting the fishing industry which was one a major income earning and flourishing industry for the SU economy .
