← GeographyWhich consequence results when warming induces talik formation in permafrost?
A)Increased methane release from hydrates✓
B)Reduced albedo from snow cover
C)Enhanced carbon sequestration in peatlands
D)Stabilized Arctic coastline integrity
💡 Explanation
Methane release increases from thawing hydrates because talik formation creates pathways for trapped methane to escape via convection, therefore, causing greater greenhouse gas emissions, rather than stabilizing coastlines or increasing carbon sequestration.
