Which term refers to an artificial riverbank filled with garbage, potentially leaking toxins?

• A. Soccer Field
• B. Picnic Shelter
• C. Pond Creek
• D. Planet

Answer: (A)

Think about how waste is managed. A landfill is an engineered, man-made site where garbage is deposited in an artificial bank or mound, with liners and drainage to try to keep toxins from leaking. But if containment fails or leachate forms, those toxins can seep into soil and groundwater, especially near water bodies. So the term describing an artificial riverbank filled with garbage that could leak toxins is landfill.
