Methane hydrates are a non-renewable fossil fuel that can be collected from the seafloor. what impact does the harvesting of this energy source have on the environment?
a. they also serve as a food source, which to increase the overall biodiversity of the area.
b. they can absorb pollution from the water, which increases primary productivity.
c. they can explode, which weakens the sediment and causes landslides.
d. they produce radioactive emissions, which can cause mutations in marine life.

c. they can explode, which weakens the sediment and causes landslide.

Explanation:

Methane hydrate is a source of fossil fuel that develops when the methane gas generated after the process of deecomposition. The methane gas get traped inside ice structure. The methane hydrate develop in the Artic sea region which remain permafrost. The melting of the permafrost sea leads to the exposure of the methane to the external environment. This may lead to the explosion of the methane hydrate, which can cause earthquake like condition. The generation of sesmic waves can cause overlying mountain and glacier landslide by weakening of the sediments.

an adaptation is a change or process by which an organism takes to be better suited for its environment. for example; migration is a behavioral adaptation, this is needed because birds are not built to last extremely cold climates. there are different adaptations because there are different species needing to adjust to different things, bears don't migrate; they hibernate.

i have to report this, it doesn't relate to biology
