In the last 30 years‚ more than 60 percent of the lake has disappeared. The sequence of images above‚ acquired by Landsat satellites‚ shows the dramatic changes to the Aral Sea between 1973 and 2000.

It occurs to individuals when ¬¬¬¬they are removed from their interactive environments and they typically express behaviour ranging
