Explanation:

Asia has large areas of inland drainage because rainfall is seasonal and scanty.

Endorheic drainage basins are inland basins that do not drain to an ocean. Around 18% of all land drains to Endorheic lakes or seas or sinks. The largest of these consists of much of the interior of Asia, which drains into the Caspian Sea, the Aral Sea, and numerous smaller lakes.
