A journey to a cold seep. In G. Panieri & M. Stiller-Reeve (Eds.), The Ocean Senses Activity Book (Ukrainian version)

Focus: Where are and what happens at cold seeps and how scientists study them. Learning objectives: After this lesson, students should be able to: 1: Relate different datasets by observing and describing scientific maps 2. Differentiate between carbon dioxide and methane gas 3. Clarify misconceptions about greenhouse gas 4 Explain what cold seeps are and why most gas/methane hydrates occur at continental margins 5. Describe some of the methods scientists use to locate and study methane/gas hydrates Prerequisites: Prior to this lesson, students should be familiar with understanding maps, molecular structure and bonding, and the greenhouse effect and gases. Key words: Arctic Ocean, Methane, Carbon Dioxide, Gas Hydrate, Cold Seep, Greenhouse Gases.
