\nThe largest volumes of methane on Earth are frozen deep underground. Learn how global warming could melt these stores and start the irreversible process predicted by the Clathrate Gun Hypothesis. Earth Science - Human Impacts - Learning...\nThe largest volumes of methane on Earth are frozen deep underground. Learn how global warming could melt these stores and start the irreversible process predicted by the Clathrate Gun Hypothesis. Earth Science - Human Impacts - Learning Points. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas. The compound methane clathrate is found deep within the ocean and beneath the Earth's crust. Methane clathrates are also found within permafrost. If permafrost melts, vast amounts of methane would escape into our atmosphere, intensifying the greenhouse effect. A Twig Context Film. Reinforce and extend the learning required by the curriculum. Twig’s context films show abstract concepts in action in the real world.\n
