- Definition(s)
- Permafrost er permanent frost i jorden. De øverste 10-30 cm af jorden er altid stivfrosne, og det er kun de øverste par cm, der er frostfri om sommeren. Experimentarium/climateminds.dk - by Mette Melchior
- Example sentence(s)
- Permafrost er permanent frosne områder, som dækker store dele af de nordlige arktiske områder, i Alaska, Canada og Sibirien. - NOAH by Mette Melchior
- Når havisen i Arktis i disse år smelter med stigende hast, så ophobes varmen i en sådan grad, at også landområdernes permafrost tør. - DMI by Mette Melchior
- Permafrost er den tilstand, som jord og klippesten kommer i, når det har været frosset i mere end to år. Det virker som en slags afstivende skelet, der holder sammen på klippesiderne. Så hvis permafrosten forsvinder, frygter forskerne, at bjergsiderne kollapser, og det kan have store konsekvenser, advarer forskerne. - Videnskab.dk by Mette Melchior

- Definition(s)
- A layer of soil at varying depths below the surface in which the temperature has remained below freezing continuously from a few to several thousands of years. weatherdudes.com - by Enrique Cavalitto
- Example sentence(s)
- ecent warming has degraded large sections of permafrost, with pockets of soil collapsing as the ice within it melts. The results include buckled highways, destabilized houses, and "drunken forests" of trees that lean at wild angles. - National Center for Atmospheric Research by Enrique Cavalitto
- The different climatic conditions determinate the cryogenic asymmetry of the Antarctic Peninsula with respect the continuous permafrost on north-east side and the discontinuous permafrost on the west sector. - tierradelfuego.gov.ar by Enrique Cavalitto
- Understanding permafrost is not only important to civil engineering and architecture, it is also a crucial part of studying global change and protecting the environment in cold regions. - The National Snow and Ice Data Center by Enrique Cavalitto

- Definition(s)
- A permafroszt (angol permafrost, am. 'állandó fagy'; magyarul gyakran örökfagy) olyan talaj, amely legalább két éven keresztül fagyott állapotban van.
Kiterjedése függ a klíma változásaitól. Napjainkban (a foltokban előforduló permafrosztot is beleszámítva) a Föld szárazföldjeinek kb. 20%-án van kisebb vagy nagyobb mélységig tartósan fagyott állapotban a talaj. Wikipédia - by Eva H.
- Example sentence(s)
- A kutatók a jelenséget csak egy okkal tudták magyarázni: a klímaváltozás következtében a ragasztóként funkcionáló örökfagyott altalaj, a permafroszt szintje a nyári melegben egyre mélyebbre süllyedt. A permafroszt egyre erősebb nyári olvadása pedig beindítja a rendszeres olvadás-fagyáshoz, valamint a gravitációhoz kapcsolódó felszínalakítást.

- Definition(s)
- Il permafrost (o permagelo) è un fenomeno che consiste nel perenne congelamento del terreno e si indica, perciò, con questo termine, un territorio ove il suolo è perennemente ghiacciato. Convenzionalmente con questo termine si indica un terreno ghiacciato da almeno 2 anni, ma si tratta di una definizione puramente arbitraria. Wikipedia - by ELISA PICCINI
- Example sentence(s)
- Il riscaldamento globale potrebbe decimare di almeno tre metri o più il permafrost (lo strato di terreno perennemente congelato) dell´emisfero settentrionale, alterando gli ecosistemi del Canada, dell´Alaska e della Russia. - Explora Science by ELISA PICCINI
- Il permafrost è, in terre di grande freddo, il suolo permanentemente ghiacciato anche in profondità. La Letteratura di Paesaggio (o letteratura imramica) è invece simile al terriccio che durante una breve estate sgela in superficie, favorendo la rinascita vegetale. - Comune di Bologna by ELISA PICCINI
