Which hydrogeological consequence results when thermokarst lakes excessively expand?

💡 Explanation

Thermo Karst lakes melting causes thermocline change triggering talik formation. The underlying sediment thaws because of increased heat transfer which destablizes permafrost and thus pingos; therefore pingos are destabilized through thermal erosion rather than drumlin or esker change.
