Best Answer

A gas hydrate is a crystalline solid; its building blocks consist of a gas molecule surrounded by a cage of water molecules. Thus it is similar to ice, except that the crystalline structure is stabilized by the guest gas molecule within the cage of water molecules. Many gases have molecular sizes suitable to form hydrate, including such naturally occurring gases as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and several low-carbon-number hydrocarbons, but most marine gas hydrates that have been analyzed are methane hydrates.

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.
