The correct answer is - C. from thawing the ground beneath them.

Tall buildings in Siberia have to be lifted from the ground because in most of Siberia the ground is not stable. The ground in this part of the world is under the influence of the permafrost for the biggest portion of the year, which makes the ground very rich with frozen water, but unlike the popular opinion that in Siberia the summers are cold too, they are actually not cold but pretty warm and temperatures can reach up to 30 C degrees. This warmth makes the ice and snow melt, thus making the ground very unstable and very rich with water, so any higher and heavier building will start sinking into it, and after that when the winter strikes again the lower part of the building will be trapped by the permafrost.

How are Norway and Spain similar in climate? How are they different?

I don't think there is a big different at all but what I know is that Norway is colder and has more rain.

Another different is because Spain is closer to the equator but Norway is closer to the arctic.

What does citizen mean? Mention two examples of political right. What
Murrr4er [49]

A citizen is a white land owning male. It is a political right for your government to stay in their lane and mind their own business. Rights certainly shouldn't be applicable to non-white invaders.
