Question

Determine whether the description applies to landfills, incinerators, or both

- generate ash


- can generate energy


- emits toxins through combustion


- drains liquids into the ground


- releases greenhouse gases


- requires a substantial amount of land

Answer 1

These two go to “both”

- can generate energy

- release greenhouse gases

The two below go to “incinerator”

- generate ash

- emits toxins through combustion

The the two below got to “landfill”

- drains liquids into the ground

- requires a substantial amount of land

Explanation

I got this correct on edmentum

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. can generate energy – Both , In landfills methane gas is produced which is used to generate electricity, like wise heat energy produced in incinerator is also used for producing energy

2. emits toxins through combustion – Incinerators produce dioxins which is a dangerous chemical

3. drains liquids into the ground – Land fill, leachate is a common issue with all landfill site.

4. releases greenhouse gases – Both, methane and other carbon gases are produced in both landfill and incinerators

5. requires a substantial amount of land – land fill site , needs a large land to dump the city waste

6. generate ash – Incenerator only
