A group of scientists in alaska notices that not only have atmospheric co2 levels increased at their sampling site but so too ha

ve methane levels. what most likely accounts for this increase in methane levels? none of the answer options is correct.the melting of permafrost accompanied by the thawing of methane-producing bacteria.a decrease in beef production near the researchers' sampling area.the failure of rice paddies to be established in alaska, given its climate.the release of methane from thawed permafrost.

The correct answer is - the release of methane from thawed permafrost.

In the past decade it has been noticed that the levels of methane are increasing in the atmosphere, and the biggest ''producer'' of this methane is the melting permafrost. There's huge amounts of methane trapped underground bellow the permafrost. But the permafrost is melting because of the global worming, so the methane is free to come out and go up in the atmosphere.

Answer: It is important to conduct many different experiments and estimates in a project for having as much statistic data as possible, because it is necessary to show proof on whichever project you are into. In order to avoid confusion, it's also possible to <u>organize data in Excel sheets/tables so it can be visually easier to interpretate</u>. <u>Gut instinct isn't enough to prove something wrong or righ</u>t, and <u>few data means higher probability of things going in ways other than the expected</u>.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: The greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction of bitumen and the use of large quantities of water.

Explanation:

Bitumen is a natural flammable organic matter formed from kerogen in the process of petroleum generation, which is soluble in carbon disulfide. Asphalt and mineral wax are examples of hydrocarbons which are part of bitumen. Conventional oil is extracted by wells while <u>oil sands deposits are extracted using surface mining sectioning techniques, or are flowed to wells by in situ techniques that reduce bitumen viscosity by steam and/or solvents.</u> So, unlike crude oil extracted in oil wells, bitumen requires an open-pit mining operation, in which large tracts are washed with a mixture of water and chemicals to separate the bitumen from a mixture of sand and clay.

Two consequences of this practice are:

  • The greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction of bitumen are larger than the extraction of conventional oil. The emissions produced contribute  to enhance the greenhouse effect and cause global warming. The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gases retain part of the energy emitted by the earth's soil when heated by the sun's radiation. This phenomenon occurs naturally, and thanks to it, the average temperature of the Earth is about 14º C (57.2 °F). The problem occurs when these greenhouse gases increase in the atmosphere and the amount of energy that is not released into space also increases and, with it, the Earth's temperature.
  • The extraction of bitumen from oil sands requires the use of large quantities of water, and even though water used here can be recycled, only a small amounts is returned to the natural cycle. Also, spills from the transportation of the oil could damage soils and waterways, increasing water pollution. This toxic water  could get into surface.
