Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The loss of permafrost is causing the release of both CO2 and CH4 from the soil into the atmosphere. As the permafrost thaws, the organic material in the soil begins to decompose, releasing these greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. CO2 is released during the aerobic decomposition of organic matter, while CH4 is produced during anaerobic decomposition. Therefore, the best choice is E, as it includes both gases that are being released.
