How has the discovery of oil affected the position of Southwest Asia on the world?
buried pipelines in southwest Asia help reduce the danger of above ground accidents. however, oil spills on land do happen. because oil is such a valuable commodity' pipelines are carefully monitored.

They tend to be quite colorful as they are in many parts of the Arctic, and they are all raised above the ground to allow air to flow beneath due to the permafrost.

Why was the Alaskan pipeline built above ground and insulated?
I would be inclined to believe that the pipeline was built above ground to avoid destroying the terrain that it runs through.Also dealing with the permafrost would prove costly and would have taken much longer to finish.Besides it makes maintaining it much easier.
What is the relationship between permafrost and solifluction?
Permafrost is permanently frozen ground that significantly impacts the landscape in cold regions. Solifluction is a process where thawed soil and sediment move slowly down slopes due to gravity, often occurring in areas underlain by permafrost. When the upper layers of permafrost thaw during warmer seasons, the saturated soil above can become unstable and flow, leading to solifluction features such as lobes and terraces. Thus, permafrost acts as a barrier that influences the dynamics of soil movement in these regions.
