Methane enters the atmosphere primarily through natural and human-made sources. Natural sources include wetlands, termites, and the ocean, while human activities contribute significantly through agriculture (especially livestock), landfills, and fossil fuel extraction. Methane is released during the production and transport of coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as from rice cultivation and the decay of organic waste in landfills. Once in the atmosphere, methane is a potent greenhouse gas, contributing to climate change.
