Methyl Hydrates

                        A second resource of the sea is Methyl Hydrates. Methyl Hydrates come from millions of years of bacteria in the sea. It is pressured and becomes Methane Gas. The gas is then compressed into ice. Although Methyl hydrates are an ice, it is near boiling point. When it bubbles, any ships near by will sink within a minute, because of gravity. 

        Since mining this is very dangerous, no one has attempted it, yet.  Japan is getting ready to use new methods for this mining.  The method they will be using is called Hydrocarbon Extraction.  The risk with this is that, it will send huge bubbles up into the ocean. So anything that would be above it would be instantly pulled under the sea.

        With such a huge risk, why even try, right? Wrong.  Oil prices have increasingly shot up and are creating problems around the world. Also the clouds you see in the sky are caring billions of tons of water and heat.  But governments around the world have instituted green policies, documents protecting things on earth, so not much can be done about it.
