In 1 million years time what will the contents of land fill rubbish sites have turned into??

Probably most of it will become peat, a kind of early form of coal.  Of course, glass, metal, and some plastics may not have changed change much.

Landfill sites for waste disposal

first of all, it isn't necessarily 100,000 years.  the radioactive waste is made up of radioactive elements.  the only way to measure the wasting of the radioactivity of a material is by half-life, or the time it takes for half of the waste to lose its radioactivity.  essencially, the waste will always be active, but eventually the amount that it is giving off decreases to an amount that doesn't affect humans.  weather it's 100,000 or 1000000 years depends on the material and how much of it.\n\nthe waste will always be there, but nuclear waste is really just radioactive atoms of elements like plutonium, uranium, etc.  it won't disappear, but it will eventually become harmless.

Carbon dioxide and other wastes. WHOA the second answerer is definitely going to win the voting.

if you are talking about the geological subject, them im thinking its a ticking time bomb that will errupt into something catastrophic one day. it could be far far into the future but we really need to consider the potential damage. At the same time it will be forming new land (though that takes a while) and the plates will probably start causing more and more serious earthquakes in places that have never felt them before, therefore noone will really no what to do.. in short, were all doomed. Seriously, i hope not, but its kinda like when people build condos on the beach, ur taking an awfully big risk of natures fury to take it out like a toothpick. but theres not much anyone can do other than advise against it if they see potential activity

Yes you are right it is because of pollution and as many people are visiting there it will loose its beauty in coming 10 years.

1) Earth: It depends on how many billion years. The Sun will evolve into a red giant in 5 billion years, swallowing Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.\n\n2) Humans: no. Homo sapiens will either have evolved (naturally or artificially) to another species, or destroyed itself, before the first billion years.

the earth will probably not exist in the same fashion as it does today.  a meteor will probably hit us and start the life cycle again in the next 200 mill or so.  Probably more water and less land so i figure more water based life will exist

213,000 years (previous answer was an oops... sorry)

It's called radio-carbon dating.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-carbon_dating

well its not a very long span of time so there will be very very minute changes.. if we remain alive, then i think some of the changes can be:\n1) average height will reduce\n2) we will develop some adaptations in our skin, lungs and eyes to protect ourselves from pollution\nand many other possible changes...\nwe must not say that we wont be alive after 20000 years.... always hope for the best........\nLETS MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE

Wood doesn't survive well for 2000 years...

billions and billions of years.

Yes, but it will be a very primitive kind of paint made from crushed stones and plants.  Humans will be living in caves again by then.

The Earth has probably already peaked as a haven for plants and animals and begun its long descent into oblivion, according to scientists at the University of Washington who have plotted out the future of our planet.\n\nThese are not prophets of doom who have mounted the podium to warn us that we are killing ourselves through bad stewardship. They are scientists who say all good things must come to an end sometime, and at best we've got no more than half a billion years left.\n\nAfter that, the planet will return to its ancient past, inhabited only by bacteria and single-celled organisms, just as it was in its earliest years. But in time even those will vanish as the Earth is reduced to a lifeless chunk of rock, or swallowed entirely by an expanding Sun. \n\n...

The next ice age is not going to happen for a very long time, there was only one a few million years ago. What could make it happen is a nuclear war or asteroid collision with the earth.
