The release of methane from thawed permafrost.

The complete question is

A group of scientists in Alaska notices that not only have atmospheric CO2 levels increased at their sampling site but so too have methane levels. What could account for this increase in methane levels?

- None of the answer options is correct.

- The release of methane from thawed permafrost.

-A decrease in beef production near the researchers' sampling area.

-The melting of permafrost accompanied by the thawing of methane-producing bacteria.

-The failure of rice paddies to be established in Alaska, given its climate.

Permafrost regions like the arctic circle hold a large supply supply of methane in their soils and their seas. Ordinarily, this methane should be gradually released naturally over a long period of time, but the effects of global warming is making these permafrost to thaw at a much faster rate, accelerating the release of methane into the atmosphere. The dark side is that methane is about 80 times more deadly when compared to CO2 in its contribution to the green house effect on earth.

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.
