The world's biggest permafrost crater ‘Batagaika’, which is located in Russia's Far East, is expanding at an alarming rate due to the thawing of the permafrost. Scientists say that this is a phenomenon that is being exacerbated by climate change.
The scale of the destruction that is being caused by climate change. The locals have dubbed the crates as a "gateway to the underworld". There may be potential impacts of the thawing permafrost on the planet. As the permafrost thaws, it releases large amounts of methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These gases are greenhouse gases, which means that they trap heat in the atmosphere. This can lead to further warming of the planet, which can in turn lead to more permafrost thawing.
A permafrost crater is a large hole in the ground that is formed when permafrost thaws and the ground collapses. Permafrost is ground that remains frozen for at least two years. It is found in cold regions of the world, such as Siberia and Alaska.
The Batagaika crater is a sobering reminder of the impact that climate change is having on the Arctic. As the permafrost thaws, it releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which further contributes to global warming. This is a vicious cycle that could have catastrophic consequences for the planet.
There is an urgent need for action to be taken to address the issue of climate change. The need to reduce carbon emissions is essential in order to slow the thawing of the permafrost and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
