Hello!!!!

a) The process of dumping waste materials on a barren plot of land after compressing it is commonly known as landfilling. It is one of the most common methods of waste disposal.The purpose of a landfill is to bury the trash in such a way that it will be isolated from groundwater, will be kept dry and will not be in contact with air. Under these conditions, trash will not decompose much.

b) ACID RAIN: The Acid rain is a rain which is slightly acidic in nature . The PH of this rain is slightly acidic.The PH of acidic rain is 5.5 - 5.6.This is usually due to the Air pollution,burning fossil fuels,ozone layer depletion,e.t.c.

C) The most important issues that are associated with the enforcement of          Environmental legislation in India includesThe polluter-pays principle, Freedom of information and the precautionary principle.
Now a days the environment that we survive is highly polluted.
The process of deforestation continues and the wild life is not protected properly even with the enforcement of many laws.
It does not mean that enforcing laws eradicate many problems.
There are still more problems that are related to the pollution of water, soil and resources of earth that are considered to be valuable.
It is very essential for the environmental legislation to take actions to overview whether laws are enforced properly.
If any one violates any of the laws strict actions must be taken by them against their acts.

D)Environmental Ethics means the moral relationship between human beings and environment.Environmental Ethics is about the how the human being is to protect the environment and atmosphere.Environment ethics teaches us how to decrease the environmental problems .It teaches us the moral values towards the environment.

Environmental Ethics are very much useful for the human beings because through this we are able to know about the future consequences which will arise in the environment if we are irresponsible.
