One of the goals of COP-21聽 (Paris Climate Agreement) was carbon sequestration.
It works as carbon storage, thus, leading to the creation of a surplus of carbon compounds.
But, when exposed to the atmosphere, methane is more dangerous than carbon dioxide.
To have a more consolidated observation, scientists experimented to understand the reason behind the leakage process.
For marine observations, scientists studied the images and videos from NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Office of Ocean Exploration and Research.
A NOAA research ship in the Gulf of Mexico revealed the process of bubble formation of methane gas at the seafloor.Scientists also observed that due to seismic activities, narrow conduits or chimneys form at the seafloor.
