Why might that be? the earth in the state is clay which expands with the addition of water the earth in Minnesota is easy to excavate people in Minnesota demand basements under their structures freezing soil above that depth might heave causing shallow foundation failure Question 36 (1 point) Subsidence due to overuse of groundwater is a permanent effect. True False
