Answer: The release of methane from thawed permafrost
Explanation:
With increasing global warming, permafrost in the arctic is melting. The carbon and methyl clathrates present in permafrost escape into the atmosphere to form carbon dioxide and methane, both greenhouse gases.
In the Arctic, molecules of methane are trapped in ice crystals as methyl clathrates. When the temperature increases, these crystals release methyl clathrates which become methane when in contact with the atmosphere.
The cause of the increasing atmospheric 
is due to the the thawing of dead organisms present in the permafrost. As the permafrost melts, these organisms decay and release into the atmosphere.
There are approximately 4000 different minerals and each of those minerals has a unique set of physical properties. These include: color, streak, hardness<span>, </span>luster<span>, diaphaneity, specific gravity, </span>cleavage<span>, fracture, </span>magnetism<span>, </span>solubility<span> and many more. These physical properties are useful for identifying minerals.

There is no set number of "lines" of longitude. You're free
to draw as few or as many 'lines' to mark the 360 degrees
of longitude on the Earth's surface.
However many lines you decide to draw on your map or globe,
they ALL cross the equator.
