8 0
Tectonic plates are parts (pieces) of the outermost layer of Earth: the Crust. (the outermost part of the mantle is also often included in the plates). This means that the land in the middle of the plates is relatively stable while the borders of the plates can be in movement - after all this is where two pieces meet. Plate borders are where the vocanoes and Earthquakes often take place.

Organic materials (such as food scraps and yard waste) in landfills can decompose and produce landfill gas (LFG) over time. Abou
Stels [109]

The amount of LFG produced in a year from the calculations is 1.5768 * 10^8 cubic feet.

<h3>What is LFG? </h3>

The acronym LFG stands for land fill gas. It is a gas that is produced by the decomposition of biomass in a land fill. This gas can be burnt to generate steam. This steam is used to turn a turbine and generate electricity.

If 1 million tons of LFG is burnt in  a day, then 365 million tons of LFG is burnt in one year.

1 million tons of waste produces  432,000 cubic feet of LFG

365 million tons of waste produces 365 million tons * 432,000 cubic feet /1 million tons

= 1.5768 * 10^8 cubic feet of LFG
