SINKHOLES Methane Gas Hydrates Scientists at Cardiff University have discovered the presence of large concentrations of methane gas trapped in the ocean floor. This gas is due to dying and decomposing sea organisms‚ or serpentinization. The sediment contains bacteria that produce methane‚ which accumulates as super concentrated methane ice‚ called gas hydrates. The layer of ice traps the methane gas‚ and scientists are studying it as a potential energy source. What is methane? Methane

“Hydraulic Fracturing‚” and this is the process by which fossil fuels‚ usually natural gas or petroleum‚ are extracted from the earth. During this process‚ drilling from a well into hard shale rock takes place‚ and then that rock is cracked. This cracking releases the fossil fuels inside the shale rocks. Water‚ sand and chemicals are injected into the cracked rocks at high pressure. Ultimately the injection forces the gas or oil to flow out of the well(CNN 2012). The whole process of just developing a
