Непрерывный пояс мерзлоты формируется на территории России под влиянием ряда географических факторов. Главным из них является суровый климат, характерный для огромных просторов страны. Проlonged periods of low temperatures, especially during winter months, lead to the freezing of ground at considerable depths. This process is further intensified by permafrost conditions, which are prevalent in vast areas of Siberia and the Far East. Permafrost refers to soil or rock that remains frozen for at least two consecutive years. The thickness of the active layer (the uppermost layer of soil that thaws seasonally) varies depending on latitude, altitude, and local topography. In the northernmost regions, the active layer is very thin, while in more southern areas it can be significantly deeper.
