Temperature traps are those in which trap boundaries are created or controlled by subsurface temperatures. Both low temperatures and high temperatures can create trapping conditions for hydrocarbons.
==Classes and families==
The classes and families of the temperature trap regime are outlined below.
'''Regime:''' Temperature traps
* '''Class:''' Gas hydrate traps
<list-item>'''Family:''' Low-temperature traps</list-item><list-item>Accumulations in which hydrocarbon gases occur as a solid, ice-like compound of gas and water, formed under conditions of extreme low temperature and high pressure.</list-item>
* '''Class:''' Basin-center gas
* Accumulations typically found in deep, hot basin centers in which all available pore space is saturated with gas.
<list-item>'''Family:''' High-temperature traps
<list-item>'''Subfamily:''' Generative traps</list-item><list-item>High temperatures result in [[maturation]] of [[source rock]], which generates and expels sufficient volume of hydrocarbons to saturate pore space of all nearby reservoirs.</list-item></list-item>
