Methane fueled lake discovered in Alaska

The video discusses a bubbling lake in Alaska, Lake Esia, which is emitting methane due to global warming. The thawing of permafrost releases trapped greenhouse gases, accelerating climate change. Researchers highlight the geological origins of these gases, noting fossil fuels near the lake's bottom. The lake emits about 2 tons of methane daily, equivalent to emissions from 6000 dairy cows.

What is the primary cause of the bubbling in Lake Esia?

• Methane emissions

• Water currents

• Fish movements

• Volcanic activity

What environmental change is causing the release of methane from the Arctic permafrost?

• Decreasing rainfall

• Increasing temperatures

• Rising sea levels

• Deforestation

What is the origin of the gases released from Lake Esia?

• Oceanic currents

• Atmospheric reactions

• Geological sources

• Biological processes

How much methane does Lake Esia emit daily?

• 5 tons

• 10 tons

• 2 tons

• 1 ton

The daily methane emissions from Lake Esia are equivalent to emissions from how many dairy cows?

• 9000 cows

• 3000 cows

• 1000 cows

• 6000 cows
