Natural gasses refer to the gaseous mixtures that are naturally occurring in the Earth's atmosphere or extracted from beneath its surface. These gasses are predominantly composed of methane and other hydrocarbons, and they play a crucial role in various industrial, commercial, and residential applications. Some common synonyms for natural gasses include "fossil fuels," "petroleum," "crude oil," "natural gas liquids," "methane," "propane," and "butane." Each of these terms is used to describe a specific type of natural gas, depending on its chemical composition, extraction method, and intended use. While these gasses are vital for human activities, they also pose significant environmental and health risks when mishandled or burned improperly.
