- 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

methane, colourless, odourless gas that occurs abundantly in nature and as a product of certain human activities Methane is the simplest member of the paraffin series of hydrocarbons and is among the most potent of the greenhouse gases Its chemical formula is CH 4
- 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
