Natural gas hydrates are a type of crystalline structure. The hydrates form when natural gas molecules, primarily methane, combine with water molecules under specific conditions of temperature and pressure. These hydrates typically form in deep ocean sediments or in permafrost regions of the Arctic and Antarctic, where the conditions are most favorable.
