Answer 1

At a landfill, toxins can be released from garbage and enter the soil.

Step-by-step explanation:

In landfills, solid waste, including various types of garbage and waste materials, is deposited. Over time, as waste decomposes or breaks down, it can release toxins and pollutants that can leach into the soil and potentially contaminate the surrounding area. This is a common way in which land pollution can occur due to solid waste disposal practices that may not adequately contain or manage harmful substances. The other options also describe situations related to pollution, but they are not specifically related to solid waste causing land pollution.
