Aral Sea's Big Secret 😮

So, the Aral Sea, once a massive lake, has an exposed mantle thanks to water loss from way back in the '60s. It's like Earth's skin is still stretching from when water was diverted for agriculture! This "quiet Chernobyl" is causing the ground to bulge even now. Imagine a desert with ships stuck in the sand! The land's lifting about 0.3 inches yearly. Crazy, right? It just shows how big our impact is on Earth. Thoughts? #EarthChange #AralSeaMystery #EnvironmentalImpact #Science
