 ===Meaning===
-'''Natural Gas''' is a [[Gas|gaseous]] [[Fossil Fuel]] formed in an [[anoxic]] environment from the remains of dead [[Plant|plants]] and [[Animal|animals]].
+[[Natural Gas]] is a fraction of [[Crude Oil]] which a [[Carbon]] chain length of around 1-2 [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s.
 ===About Natural Gas===
-: [[Natural Gas]] is a [[Non-renewable Energy Resources|non-renewable energy resource]].
+: [[Natural Gas]] is a [[hydrocarbon]] because it is a [[molecule]] made of only [[Hydrogen]] and [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s.
