"Teacherjh" wrote in message ... They've modeled the effect of a methane mega-bubble on bouyancy Whazzat? Methane dissolved in the ocean to the extent that the water's density goes down enough to sink a ship? Jose Yes, exactly. There are big methane-hydrate deposits off the east coast, kept stable by the pressure at great depth. There was an oil platform lost due to a well head blowout that caused the same effect. Lots of theories about methane-hydrates and lowered sea levels during ice ages release of methane causes global warming, ending ice age cycle repeats every 11- 20,000 years. Methane hydrate exists as ice http://marine.usgs.gov/fact-sheets/g...tes/title.html http://sepwww.stanford.edu/public/do...96/paper_html/ http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov/topstory/20011212methane.html
