Which consequence results when methane hydrate undergoes rapid sublimation?

💡 Explanation

Methane release and geologic destabilization occurs because heat causes phase transition from solid hydrate to gaseous methane, a potent greenhouse gas, via sublimation. This positive feedback causes more warming therefore leading to further methane destabilization, rather than stabilizing effects.
