  1. Gas is not heavier than air, it is lighter.
  2. If you coller it down enough, and it has to be very cold it turns into a liquid. It does make it alot easier to store.
  3. Gas is a fossil fuel. What this means is that the source of it comes from 100 million years ago. It is the result of rotted vegetation and dinosaur remains.
  4. As it is flammable if it is uncontrolled it can be extremely explosive. However, natural gas is scentless so there is no way that you would know if there was a leak or not. As a result gas companies add a scent so that you can know that there is a leak. Do not create a spark or naked flame.

  1. The Chinese were the first to start to use gas in a productive manner. Using bamboo shoots as piping they were able to channel natural gas from areas where it occurred to their villages. In this way they were able to boil seawater. This meant they could drink the water and use the salt to flavour food.
