Solution
Explanation: 1 Mark each
1. A large, low-lying area used to dispose off garbage is known as a dump.
2. A garbage dump is also used as landfill. Garbage collectors collect waste and then dispose it at garbage disposals.
3. Garbage dumps have flies, cockroaches and mosquitoes, and often turn into breeding grounds for micro-organisms which may cause diseases. This is the reason why garbage dumps are usually located on the outskirts of a city.
4. In the long run, when garbage mixes with soil, it takes a longer time to decay making the soil loose.
5. Burning of agricultural wastes like dried leaves and husk without disposing them properly releases smoke and harmful gases into the atmosphere. These harmful gases may cause respiratory diseases. So it is important that we dispose off garbage responsibly.
