1.) Tell what is meant by the term "gas hydrate".
2.) What happens to gas hydrates when they are exposed to ordinary temperatures and atmospheric conditions?
3.) Describe how they measure the amounts of gas hydrates under the ocean floor.
4.) Methan is up to 50 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than the most commen " greenhouse gas". Name and give the chemical formula for the most common "greenhouse gas".
5.) Why do samples of ocean floor sediments that contain gas hydrates contain less chlorine than ordinary seawater?
