Sample Question 1
What is permafrost and where is it primarily found?

A type of glacial ice found only in the cores of large ice sheets such as the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets

A permanently frozen layer of the ocean surface in polar seas that forms when seawater temperatures drop below minus 2 degrees Celsius

A layer of rock beneath the Arctic Ocean floor that contains frozen methane hydrates at extreme pressures

Ground that remains frozen at or below 0 degrees Celsius for two or more consecutive years, found primarily in Arctic and subarctic regions including Siberia, Alaska, Canada, and the Tibetan Plateau

Sample Question 2
What is the permafrost-carbon feedback and why is it considered a significant climate risk?

The permafrost-carbon feedback is a negative feedback in which thawing permafrost releases carbon dioxide that is re-absorbed by newly growing vegetation, keeping concentrations stable

As permafrost thaws due to warming temperatures, the previously frozen organic matter it contains begins to decompose, releasing carbon dioxide and methane that cause additional warming, which thaws more permafrost, creating a self-reinforcing positive feedback loop

The permafrost-carbon feedback describes the ability of permafrost soils to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through chemical weathering reactions

The permafrost-carbon feedback is a process in which permafrost acts as a heat sink, absorbing excess atmospheric heat and temporarily offsetting greenhouse warming
