Sex ratio in a population is defined as the number of females for every thousand males.
This metric is used to understand the balance between the male and female population in a given area or group.
In India, the sex ratio is typically calculated as the number of females per 1000 males. A ratio of 1000 indicates an equal number of males and females; a ratio below 1000 indicates fewer females than males, and vice versa.

The Aral Sea is located in Central Asia, situated between the countries of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
The Aral Sea is an endorheic lake known for its dramatic shrinkage over the past few decades due to the diversion of its inflowing rivers.
Historically one of the world’s largest lakes, the Aral Sea has reduced significantly in size since the 1960s due to large-scale irrigation projects in the Soviet era, leading to severe environmental, social, and economic consequences.

While submarine canyons can cut across continental shelves, they are more characteristic features of continental slopes, not the shelf itself as a defining characteristic.
Continental shelves are gently sloping underwater extensions of continents, known for shallow depths and abundant marine life.
Continental shelves are important for fishing grounds due to their biological productivity and are significant sources of oil and gas reserves. They also accumulate large amounts of sediment, forming stores of sand and gravel. Submarine canyons are steep-sided valleys cut into the seabed.
