- Methane - Wikipedia
Methane is an organic hydrocarbon, and among the simplest of organic compounds Naturally occurring methane is found both below ground and under the seafloor and is formed by both geological and biological processes The largest reservoir of methane is under the seafloor in the form of methane clathrates

U N officials say methane emissions are still going up, but they have hope that cutting them in coming years could have big implications for slowing Earth's warming
- Methane - Earth Indicator - NASA Science
Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas and is the second-largest contributor to Earth's warming after carbon dioxide (CO2) A molecule of methane traps more heat than a molecule of CO2, but methane has a relatively short lifespan of 7 to 12 years in the atmosphere
- Methane (CH₄) - Definition, Structure, Preparation, Uses, Benefits . . .
Methane (CH₄) is a colorless, odorless gas that plays a crucial role in both the environment and the energy sector It is the simplest form of a hydrocarbon, consisting of one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms (CH₄)
- Methane - Center for Science Education
Methane accounts for about 20% of the heating effects by all of the greenhouse gases combined Both natural and human sources supply methane to Earth's atmosphere Major natural sources of methane include emissions from wetlands and oceans, and from the digestive processes of termites
