Which outcome is associated with increased thermokarst activity?

💡 Explanation

Extensive thaw lake formation results from thermokarst because permafrost thawing causes ground subsidence and water accumulation, creating depressions; therefore, thaw lakes expand, rather than promoting glacial growth due to changed regional hydrology.
