Gas hydrates are also important for seafloor stability studies, because melting gas hydrate may cause seafloor land slides. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas. Methane released from gas hydrate may therefore play a significant role in climate change3.It is important to distinguish between the climate change aspects of methane released naturally from gas hydrates and those of methane produced from gas hydrates for energy use.he gas hydrate stability zone extends into the seafloor sediments down to a depth where temperature exceeds gas hydrate stability, usually some 10s to 100s of meters beneath the seafloor. At this depth, thin methane gas layers are often present causing strong reflections in seismic records.
