Which consequence results when rapid depressurization causes methane hydrate destabilization?

💡 Explanation

Destabilization causes endothermic methane release through enthalpy of dissociation during phase transition, lowering temperature because energy input separates methane from water molecules rather than exothermic reformation. Therefore, nearby machinery icing becomes a risk.
