What is a common source of methane gas?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Paddy fields and livestock
Methane is produced when organic matter decomposes without oxygen. Flooded rice fields create anaerobic conditions in their soils, while ruminant livestock release methane during digestion and through manure management. These agricultural activities are important methane sources. Granite, sea salt, and desert sand do not normally produce significant methane emissions.
