Solution

Methane along with a little amount of Carbon dioxide ( $C O_{2}$ ), Hydrogen disulfide ( $H_{2} S$ ) and Phosphine ( $P H_{3}$ ) are produced in the form of bubbles in marshy lands by the anaerobic bacteria (absence of oxygen) during the digestion of organic matter that is present on the land.
