Respuesta :

Answer:

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

Answer:

Both - Can generate energy. Releases greenhouse gases.

Incinerator - Emits toxins through combustion. Generate ash.

Landfill - Drains liquids into the ground. Requires a substantial amount of land.
