Question

31 what is
plant
by te thermal pollution!​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Thermal pollution, sometimes called "thermal enrichment," is the degradation of water quality by any process that changes ambient water temperature. A common cause of thermal pollution is the use of water as a coolant by power plants and industrial manufacturers. When water used as a coolant is returned to the natural environment at a higher temperature, the sudden change in temperature decreases oxygen supply and affects ecosystem composition. Fish and other organisms adapted to particular temperature range can be killed by an abrupt change in water temperature (either a rapid increase or decrease) known as "thermal shock."

The Brayton Point Power Station in Massachusetts discharged heated water to Mount Hope Bay.[1] The plant was shut down in June 2017.[2]

Urban runoff—stormwater discharged to surface waters from roads and parking lots—can also be a source of elevated water temperatures.
