Question 1 of 57👑 VIP
Read the following passage and answer the question. "The permafrost beneath Arctic communities is thawing at an accelerating rate. In Inuvik, Northwest Territories, engineers have documented that ground temperatures have risen nearly 2°C over the past three decades. Buildings constructed on pilings driven into what was once permanently frozen ground are now tilting and cracking as the soil beneath them softens. The cost of retrofitting infrastructure in just three northern communities is estimated at over $400 million." Based on the passage, what is the most accurate inference about the long-term consequences of permafrost thaw for northern communities?
