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 tropical countries will cause many more extinctions per acre than it would in higher latitudes
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The Answer is likely D, none of the above because all of these would cause damage in any area, however, climate change is what deals the most damage to tropics due to the fact that the already hot tropical climate is getting even hotter, which can cause rivers and what not to dry out, whereas though climate change is a big problem around the world, it is least apparent in the southern hemisphere, and not nearly as apparent in the northern hemisphere when you compare it to research in the equatorial region.

(Please note that this answer is more of a matter of my own opinion than anything, and under most circumstances, none of the above would be wrong. Please do not hold it against me if this answer is wrong. If it is wrong, then the answer would probably be A)

Match each moon or planet to the most accurate characteristic.
Olegator [25]

Each moon or planet matched to the most accurate characteristic;  

1. It contains large amounts of frozen water - C. Europa

2. High levels of carbon dioxide increase the temperature of its atmosphere - B. Venus

3. It does not have enough gravity to have an atmosphere - A. Earth's moon

4. Astronomers believe there is a good chance it contains liquid water - D. Mars

Europa is the smallest of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. Others are Io, Ganymede, and Callisto. An outer layer of water, about 100 km (62 mi) thick, covered the surface of Europa. A part of the outer layer (crust) is said to be frozen, while the other part is a liquid ocean below the ice.

Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the hottest planet in the solar system. The atmosphere of Venus is dense, and it is composed mainly of carbon dioxide (roughly 96.5 percent), which traps heat and causes a greenhouse effect.
