Gas hydrates....

In the ocean depths where the shallow continental shelves drop off to toward the deep ocean basins, lie the continental rise and continental slope. Much sediment with high organic content is deposited here in an area of near freezing temperatures and crushing temperatures.



Hello Hill,
Great info and thanks for the links. One edit for you if you don't mind. Look at the last word in the quote I have excerpted .... you probably meant pressures rather than temperatures.

regards,
