← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when exceeding methane hydrate stability limits?
A)Increased methane release into sediment✓
B)Increased carbon dioxide formation rate
C)Stable cage lattice maintains volume
D)Formation with heavier hydrocarbon chains
💡 Explanation
Hydrate decomposition elevates free methane, caused by destabilization. The destabilization mechanism breaks the hydrogen bonds of the cage structure, therefore released methane increases rather than carbon dioxide or maintaining the lattice due to the breakdown conditions.
