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.

How much in 1000000 yen in dollars?
In 1944, during World War II, the Empire of Japan occupied the Philippine archipelago with a regime now termed the Second Philippine Republic. This government issued a paper-only fiat currency which was given the same name as the previous currency - the peso. As apparently happens with much fiat currency, the Japanese peso experienced hyperinflation - unfortunate both for the folks who had to use it and for modern discoverers of the bills. (According to the Wikipedia article from which most of this is ripped off - "Japanese government-issued Philippine fiat peso" - the pesos became so worthless they were termed "Mickey Mouse money.")
As far as further Web research reveals, individual bills might be worth about one dollar each to collectors, regardless of printed value, which goes to show just how crazy the inflation was. But don't just take this page's word for it - get them appraised!

What caused problem in the aral sea?
In the 1960s the Soviet Union started a project to make the Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan-Tajikistan area a major world producer of cotton.

The two groups of Buddhist who spreads buddas ideas to southeast Asia?
The last edit was super wrong. The answer is Theravada and Mahayana. Those were the two Buddhist groups that spread Buddah's ideas to Southeast Asia. Then, Buddah's idea was adopted in Ceylon and Sri Lanka. They are described as cities, not as the name of the groups that spread Siddharta's idea. That answer from the last person? He or she needs help.
