GAS-HYDRATES: INTRODUCTION Importance Methane hydrate dissociation and methane emission : induces submarine slope failures GAS-HYDRATES: INTRODUCTION Importance Methane hydrate dissociation and methane emission : induces submarine slope failures makes a contribution to the global warming Arcti c What are gas hydrates? Crystalline solid consisting of gas molecules, usually methane, each surrounded by a cage of water molecules
