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 CO{2} is due to the the thawing of dead organisms present in the permafrost. As the permafrost melts, these organisms decay and release  CO{2} into the atmosphere.

In the question the option that tells us the weakness of the sampling technique is that Samples were taken from both dark and bright lunar areas instead of concentrating on one area

<h3>What is a sampling technique?</h3>

The sampling technique can be defined as the name of the technique that helps in the identification of the specific process by which the entities that would be used in a sample has been chosen.

This is the way that the subset of a population can be used to make generalizations about the entire population that is existent in the study.
