A sanitary landfill with a surface area of 6000 m2 receives a yearly rainfall amount of 300 mm. About 20 percent of this precipi

tation is runoff and does not infiltrate the surface. A leachate collection system, which is installed underneath the landfill, is 90 percent effective at collecting and treating any water that infiltrates the surface of the landfill.Assuming consistent yearly rainfall amounts, what is the volume of leachate, in m3, that the landfill will be able to treat per year? *

Answer:

1296 m^{3} of water

Explanation:

Area of landfill is 6000 m^{2}

Rain fall depth is 300 mm = 300 x 10^{-3} m

volume of water that fall on the landfill is area x depth of water

v = 6000 x 300 x 10^{-3} = 1800 m^{3} of water

20% of this precipitate is runoff i.e 0.2 x 1800 = 360 m^{3}

total volume that infiltrates is 1800 - 360 = 1440 m^{3}

the leachate treatment is 90% effective in treating infiltrates, i.e 90% of 1440 m^{3} = 0.9 x 1440 = 1296 m^{3} of water water is treated yearly

What is the importance of the atmosphere for man​
Gnom [1K]
The atmosphere is important for many reasons. Before we talk about why it is important we should define what the atmosphere is. The atmosphere is the layer of air that surrounds a planet. Earth has an atmosphere that is just right for humans, animals, and plants to live in. The gases in the atmosphere act like a blanket keeping our planet warm plus the atmosphere contains oxygen something we (humans and animals) all need to breathe.

Many planets in our solar system have a atmosphere. Venus for example has such a thick atmosphere most of the sun's energy gets trapped making the surface of Venus 864 degrees Fahrenheit! That is hotter than an oven! Mars also has an atmosphere but it is too thin making the surface of Mars -80 degrees Fahrenheit! Plus the atmospheres of Venus and Mars do not contain the oxygen we all need to breathe.

Our atmosphere allows just enough of the sun's energy back into space so that we do not get to hot like Venus or too cold like Mars. If Earth had no atmosphere, apart from having no air to breathe, the surface of the Earth would be 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

These are just two of the reasons why are atmosphere is important. The atmosphere contains the warmth we all need to survive, the oxygen we all breathe, and carries the rain we all need. Without our atmosphere life as we know it would cease to exist.

how was the movement that led to the independence of bangladesh similar to the movement that led to the formation of pakistan
olchik [2.2K]

Both movements were based on formation of countries that are Muslim, and they were done in a military manner with violent clashes.

Explanation:

Pakistan and Bangladesh have traditionally been part of India for thousands of years. This changed when the British Empire granted independence to its South Asian colony and instead of keeping it whole it divided it, initially in two parts, later it turned out to be three. This happened both because of what was thought to be the best for the stability of the region, but also because of propaganda and movements from the Islamic world.

Unlike India, Pakistan and Bangladesh were predominantly Muslim, so in order to avoid internal conflict the British decided to partition India in accordance to religion. While this seemed that it would contribute to avoiding problems and conflicts it turned out to be the opposite.

The Indians were not happy with this and acted aggressively to the loss of territory. The Islamic movements in Pakistan and later in Bangladesh also acted aggressively. This led to large scale conflict, with millions of people ending up dead or homeless, and there was a large scale persecution based on religion.
