Research This Topic
Permafrost, found in the tundra, is a layer of soil that is usually “permanently” frozen. What happens when permafrost is not so “perma” anymore? As global temperatures rise, the Arctic is experiencing warmer temperatures leading to the thawing of permafrost. What impact does this thaw have on climate change?
In this backgrounder, learners will learn about the tundra biome and permafrost, and find out more about the consequences of a thawing tundra.
