Which outcome occurs when pressurized methane hydrate decomposes?

💡 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.
