Answer:
'The main constituent of 'Marsh gas' is methane.
Explanation:
'Marsh gas' is also known as 'swamp gas or bog gas' produced by the decaying plants and animals in the wetland area. The decaying organic matter decomposes with the help of anaerobic respiration and produces methane, hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide and other chemicals.
It produces a foul smell similar to rotten eggs and produced naturally in areas that are marshy and swampy. Since 'methane is a flammable gas', these areas often glow at night.
