Which outcome occurs when widespread destabilization of permafrost increases?

A)Accelerated coastal erosion and land loss
B)Decreased methane release from hydrates
C)Enhanced slope stability in Arctic regions
D)Reduced thermokarst lake formation rates

💡 Explanation

Accelerated coastal erosion occurs because thermal erosion destabilizes coastal bluffs: the thaw slumping processes increase sediment runoff and wave energy, undermining cliffs; therefore, land loss occurs, rather than slumping decreasing after thawing.
