Where can methane hydrate be found?
Methane hydrate can be found in oceans where the temperature is cold enough for this substance to form. It is essentially methane gas trapped in ice in what cjemists call a clathrate. There is a danger some climatologists say that the warming of the ocean will cause methane hydrate to release the trapped methane gas, which because it is a potent greenhouse gas would speed up global warming.
Who produces methane?
Hi it is emiblondie here, before i answer i am not some geek who knows everythihng but i was reading the guiness book of records and it said that the most producers of methane were actually termites and not cows. honest xx
Why is methane important to the earth?
Methane is important to Earth because it is a greenhouse gas that contributes to trapping heat in the atmosphere, thus playing a role in regulating the planet's temperature. It also serves as a precursor to ozone, which helps protect the Earth from harmful UV radiation in the stratosphere. Methane also plays a role in the global carbon cycle.
How do you get methane in your body?
The common name for methane is swamp gas. Methane is also called natural gas. Methane comes from coal mining. It can also be made from "cracking" coal or oil and from any waste organic material including animal faeces (feces). Methane is produced in the stomach of ruminant animals (sheep, cows) which is then expelled from their digestive system back into the atmosphere. Methane is a green house gas. It is a hazard in mines as it is odourless in it's natural state but highly explosive. In New Zealand in 2010, a mine explosion killed 27 men who were trapped due to an earlier explosion. Methane has an odour added to it when sold to prevent it leaking undetected and then exploding. This became law in the United States after 311 people were killed at a school in New London, Texas in 1937. The rest of the world soon followed suit.
What kind of transport is osmosis?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane (from a low-concentration gradient to a high-concentration gradient). Ummm how in the world does that answer the question "What kind of transport is Osmosis?" Is it Active or Passive that's what we want to know however I do believe from my information that the answer in which we are looking for is PASSIVE. PLEASE correct me if I am incorrect and excuse my mistake.
Why is concentration of the methane increasing around the world?
Methane is produced by farming activities as it is produced by anaerobic microorganisms growing in the mud in paddy fields and so as the population is increasing so is the number of farming activities happening
Windows or mac which is mostly used around the world?
Windows, however mac is increasing rapidly
Why waste is increasing the world?
population is increasing
The increasing interconnectedness of people and countries around the world is know as what?
The increasing interconnectedness of people and countries is called globalization. This is due to the lightning speed of communication and transportation available.
What are the consequences of methane and CFCs on the world's atmosphere and how do these pollutants originate?
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, producing twenty times as much warming effect per molecule than does carbon dioxide. Any Increase in atmospheric methane concentration will contribute to global warming and climate change. The main contributors to atmospheric methane are cattle and sheep, industry and rotting refuse. Indusry is believed to have reduced its production of methane, while recycling and better waste management may help limit the emission of methane from dumps. CFC's, or chlorofluorocarbons, were used in refrigerators, air conditioners, deodorants and aerosol cans. When allowed into the atmosphere, they rise up into the ozone layer where they react with the ozone, thereby reducing the concentration of ozone. A reduction in ozone levels then allows more harmful ultraviolet rays to reach the earth's surface. The production of CFC's for industrial use is now banned, but it will take many years before existing CFC stocks are eliminated.
How many wild Siberian tigers are left in the world?
Around 500 in the last survey, with a lean towards increasing population.
Can things other than people cause pollution?
yes, there are natural forms of pollution, such as methane gas produced when animals fart, (this problem is seen mainly in cows) By increasing the number of cows in the world, humans have also increased natural pollution.
Where were the locations of European concentration camps of World War I?
In World War 1 (1914-18) there were no concentration camps. For the Nazi concentration camps, see the related question.

Were there concentration camps in ww1?
The answer posted previously was wrong; there were concentration camps during WWI. The Turks had the Armenians in concentration camps such as Deir ez-Zor during WWI. Around 1.5 million Armenians were killed in that genocide total.
Are there still concentration camp's around the world?
Auschwitz and Dachau have been preserved as museums. Some parts of Buchenwald are still standing and are a memorial site.
What proves that the world temperature is increasing?
the melting of polar ice caps is one proof that the world temperature is indeed increasing.
