Which consequence occurs when methane hydrate dissociates rapidly?

💡 Explanation

Methane hydrate dissociation releases large amounts of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) through a positive feedback loop. The clathrate breakdown increases atmospheric methane, because this promotes further gas release through thermal runaway, rather than causing mere local salinity changes.
