Which of the following best describes environmental parameters that should be examined before a city can build a landfill a) how close the landfill be to major cities and highways b) whether there will be sufficient staff available to operate the landfill c) if leakage from the landfill will be able to contaminate groundwater d) what the costs involved in maintaining the landfill will be

The correct answer is (c) if leakage from the landfill will be able to contaminate groundwater

The landfill has the property to form slurry and that can be contagious to the health of the people if it gets mixed into the groundwater in anyway. Before making a landfill in the area where people reside, there must be an assurance of safety in terms of water. The contaminated groundwater can be poisonous to the health of people also it can also cause many water borne diseases.

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
