In areas where permafrost occurs, why is the top layer soggy in the summer?
- The sun’s rays warm up the top layer, turning the ice or frost into water.
- Permafrost forms a waterproof barrier under ponds, lakes, and other bodies of water in the far north.
- During the summer, drying winds stop blowing in tundra regions.
- Glaciers retreat in the summer, exposing areas of swampy tundra.
In areas with permafrost, the ground is mostly frozen through all year. In the summer the top layer warms and turns muddy.

Why is the following statement a common winter weather forecast for states along the North Atlantic Ocean: “snow inland, with rain along the coast”?
- The rate of evaporation of water from the ocean tends to make coastal areas rainier than inland areas.
- The ocean’s moderating influence keeps coastal areas warmer than inland areas in the winter.
- Inland areas tend to be more mountainous, and thus, more snowy.
- Convectional precipitation is greatest along the coast in the winter.
