Why are Methane hydrates bad for boats?
There is no direct way that methane hydrates, which are deposited deep under the ocean floor, are a danger for boats.
True or false Methane hydrates form within the ocean and are not expensive to obtain?
True and False. Methane hydrates form mostly under permafrost and ice caps, but some form in the ocean.Methane hydrates are expensive to obtain.
What conditions are most favorable for making methane hydrates?
cold
What could gas hydrates be used for?
As a source of energy.
Where are methane hydrates found?
As Methane Hydrants form at low temperature and at high pressure, they can be found on the seabed and in arctic perma-frost.
Why are methane hydrates so difficult to extract from the seafloor?
Methane hydrates are so difficult to extract from the sea floor because if methane gas escapes directly to the atmosphere, as a byproduct of extraction, an earthquake or warming ocean waters, the consequences could be dire. 3000 times more methane exists in hydrate deposits than in the atmosphere. Releasing even a fraction of this amount would amplify global warming. This is from Cha Cha!
How much methane may be locked up in sediments containg gas hydrates?
20 quadrillion cubic meters
Methane hydrates form within the ocean and are not expensive to obtain?
it is so expensive i don't even know how expensive it is
How much methane may be locked up sediments containing gas hydrates?
20 quadrillion cubic meters
What is the new energy source found in the ocean that is costly to get?
Ocean Thermal power.Ocean Wave power.
What are the implications of the release of methane gas from Arctic sea?
This is one of the feedback loops of global warming. Global warming melts the ice and oceans. This releases methane (CH4) hydrates from the bottom of the ocean. The methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that in turn causes more global warming. So more methane melts, and so on.
How much methane may be locked up in sediments containing gas hydrates?
20 Million cubic meters
