Explanation:

Natural gas hydrates are a naturally occurring, ice-like/crystalline combination of natural gas and water found in oceans and Polar Regions.
The amount of gas within the world’s gas hydrate accumulations is estimated to greatly exceed the volume of all known conventional gas resources thereby making them a promising energy resource of the future.
They are considered as vast resources of natural gas and are known to occur in marine sediments on continental shelf margins (and not at Abyssal Plain).
A large natural gas discovery has been made in the Indian Ocean following a joint expedition by India and the U.S.
Gas hydrate resources in India are estimated at 1,894 trillion cubic meters and these deposits occur in Western, Eastern and Andaman offshore areas.
