← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when pressurized methane hydrate decomposes?
A)Endothermic reaction exceeds heat input
B)Methane release drives positive feedback✓
C)Adiabatic expansion causes further cooling
D)Water ice lattice becomes more ordered
💡 Explanation
Decomposition releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas, therefore increasing atmospheric temperature, because decomposition is driven by increased temperatures in a positive feedback loop. Methane's release causes temperature increases, rather than adiabatic expansion or increased ice structuring.
