5. Question
Alaska’s icy blue rivers and streams have turned orange due to,
Correct
(a) Permafrost melting
Numerous rivers and streams in Alaska’s remote Brooks Range are turning orange due to the thawing of permafrost, which is releasing previously frozen minerals into the water. Water samples from the affected streams show higher acidity and higher concentrations of sulfates and trace metals, which can have significant ecological consequences, such as the disappearance of fish species and a decline in aquatic insect diversity.
These water quality changes could severely impact Arctic fish populations, as many of the affected streams serve as crucial spawning grounds and nurseries for salmon and other fish species that are essential to the ecosystem and local subsistence fisheries.
