Large reservoirs of “fire ice” beneath the ocean can potentially trigger devastating disasters if released
Locked deep beneath our oceans, according to scientists, are deposits of frozen methane. Dubbed “fire ice,” these deposits, once released, can trigger large-scale natural catastrophes such as tsunamis and landslides – and scientists and experts currently have no idea how much of these fire ice deposits exist. According to Ann Cook, an associate professor in […]
