What are the two rivers that flow into the Aral Sea?
The Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers mainly supply the Aral Sea.
What rivers that flow into aral sea have been diverted?
The Aral sea has not been diverted, but much of the water from the rivers flowing to the Aral sea have been diverted for irrigation, particularly for cotton and rice production in central Asia.

Toward what bodies of water do the rivers of western Europe flow?

Wind!
In north America rivers east of the Continental divide flow in with ocean?
In North America, rivers located east of the Continental Divide flow toward the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, or the Hudson Bay. The Continental Divide serves as a natural boundary that directs the flow of water; rivers on its eastern slopes generally move toward these bodies of water, while those on the western slopes flow toward the Pacific Ocean. This geographical feature plays a crucial role in the hydrology and ecosystems of the region.
What sea does the Oxus river flow into?
Aral sea.
What is causing the Aral Sea to disappear?
The main reason why the Aral Sea has shrunk so dramatically is because water from the rivers flowing to it has been diverted for irrigation. The Aral Sea basin is fed by the Syr Darya and Amu Darya Rivers, which flow directly into the sea. Other rivers feeding the basin are the Tedzhen and Murgabi Rivers and the Karakum canal, as well as shallow rivers from Kopet Dag and western Tien-Shan. Water from the two largest rivers has been diverted for purposes of irrigating central asia's rice and cotton production. Therefore, it could be said that human activity has been the main cause of the shrinking of the Aral Sea. The problem with the shrinkage of the sea is that desertification has increased. Salinity has increased, as have dust storms, and the desert which surrounds the Aral has recaimed more and more of the basin, meaning that the Aral's future looks very bleak.
Do rivers flow toward or away from Jerusalem?
Neither - The whole of Jerusalem is surrounded by valleys and dry riverbeds (wadis).
Why has the aral sea shrunk in size?
It was already subject to excess evaporation. By 1988, the 850-mile-long Karakum Canal took large amounts of water from the rivers that flow into the Aral, slowing its intake to a fraction of what it once was.
How do Virginia rivers flow to the sea?
Gravity causes the water to seek it's own level - the sea level! Directionally speaking, they flow from the northwest toward the southeast.
Is the Aral Sea an inland sea?
The Aral sea is an inland sea in Asia, partially in Kazakhstan and partially in Uzbekistan. However, at it current rate of desertification, it is unlikely that it will be an inland sea for many more decades. This has largely occurred because so many of the rivers which used to flow to the sea have been diverted for irrigation.
