Which outcome occurs when excessive thermal energy disrupts clathrate hydrate molecular structures?

A)Methane gas release accelerates rapidly
B)Hydrogen bonding amplifies solidification effects
C)Ice lattice structures become more stable
D)Hydrate density gradient minimizes convection

💡 Explanation

Methane gas release rapidly accelerates because the elevated temperature breaks Van der Waals forces, driving molecular dissociation, therefore destabilizing clathrate structures; rather than stabilizing due decreased intermolecular spacing at lower pressures.
