Human Impact on the Environment

Question 22 • SC332 Environmental Science B

What is a landfill? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
It is a pile of trash collected from humans.
B
It is a structure that isolates waste from the surrounding environment.
C
It is a dump formed to hold human trash.
D
It is a planned structure that buries trash in the ground.

Explanation

A landfill is a planned waste-disposal structure that keeps trash contained and separated from the surrounding environment. It also buries trash in the ground, which is why “a structure that isolates waste” and “a planned structure that buries trash” are correct. A loose pile or an ordinary dump does not necessarily have those planned containment features.
