Permafrost is mainly found in cold regions, such as the Arctic, Antarctic, and high mountain areas. It occurs beneath the surface layer of soil in regions where the temperature remains below freezing for extended periods, often resulting in a permanent frozen state.
It is known as the permafrost.
Below permafrost is below freezing temperature (0c)
It is not so much that permafrost is good, as losing permafrost is bad. Permafrost keeps gases like carbon dioxide trapped within its frozen depths; when permafrost thaws, that gas is released, exacerbating global warming. Further, permafrost develops its own ecosystem which is destroyed when the permafrost is destroyed through thawing. The loss of all permafrost would mean the extinction of a lot of species.
Approximately 50% of Canada's land area is covered by permafrost.
Permafrost is the frozen liquid or gases on Mars, that never melt. While Mars' polar ice caps do shrink and grow, there are portions of it that never melt. This is the permafrost. It is frost that never melts (ie permanent frost).
Permafrost is in the Arctic and subarctic. There is a Permafrost Scientific Research Station located at Skovorodino in Eastern Siberia on the Trans-Siberian Train line.
No, nothing grows in permafrost because during permafrost, the ground is permanently frozen

Only Antarctica or the tundra would have permafrost.

No, tropical forests do not have permafrost. Permafrost is a layer of permanently frozen soil typically found in polar regions and high-altitude areas where temperatures remain consistently low. In contrast, tropical forests are located in warm, humid climates that support a diverse range of plant and animal life, and their soil remains unfrozen year-round.
