HOW are permafrost and thermokarst terrains related?
Permafrost is permanently frozen ground that often underlies thermokarst terrains, which are landscapes characterized by the uneven terrain caused by the thawing of permafrost. As permafrost thaws in a thermokarst terrain, it can lead to the formation of thermokarst features such as depressions, ponds, and landslides due to the melting ice and collapsing ground.

What is the importance of permafrost?
Permafrost acts as a natural freezer, storing vast amounts of carbon that would otherwise be released as greenhouse gases if the permafrost thaws. It also provides a stable foundation for infrastructure in cold regions and supports unique ecosystems adapted to cold conditions. However, due to climate change, as permafrost thaws, it can release greenhouse gases, destabilize landscapes, and impact the plants and animals that rely on permafrost ecosystems.

What happpens to the ground in the tundra during the summer?
In the tundra during summer, the permafrost thaws partially, creating a layer of waterlogged soil on top. This layer can be several centimeters thick, making the ground spongy and unstable. It also increases the potential for erosion and the formation of thermokarst features such as ponds and hummocks.
The top layer of soil in the tundra that thaws in the summer is called the .?
The "Active layer" is the few inches of permafrost that thaw in the summer.
