Landfills are waste disposal sites. They are often man-made depressions in the ground covered with a lining designed to prevent

any leakage of waste materials. However, landfills can leak through the base resulting in negative impacts on the surrounding environments. What negative impact to the environment is caused by the production of methane gas in landfills?

The landfill gases have a negative effect on climate change. The prime constituents are methane and carbon dioxide, both of these are greenhouse gases. In terms of global warming, methane is over twenty-five times more harmful to the atmosphere in comparison to carbon dioxide.  

The emission of methane gas from the landfills can result in hygiene, environmental, and security issues in the area surrounding the landfills. In supplementation to the threat of explosion and fire, the migration of gas in the subsurface can lead to exposure of methane gas with the groundwater, thus, contaminating the source of water.

In what ways can overpopulation be beneficial to differential reproductive success?
Reika [66]

Answer:

Differential reproduction is called the one that occurs as a result of the differences between the individuals that make up a society or sample, where it is those with comparative advantages who manage to reproduce, while those who do not have said advantages tend to die out. It is, in short, a practical application of Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection.

Thus, if there is an overpopulation of a certain species, a series of effects will occur (such as the scarcity of resources, the lack of living space, etc.) that will tend to gradually decrease the population to return to an ideal number of individuals. In this aspect, differential reproduction will be applied, being able to reproduce those that have comparative advantages over the rest, which will inevitably become extinct.
