Explain the damage caused to the hydrosphere due to the effects of
global warming. Give points
Answers
Answer:
How is the hydrosphere changing? Human contributions to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are warming the earth's surface - a process which is projected to increase evaporation of surface water and accelerate the hydrologic cycle. In turn, a warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapor.
The most common forms of pollution in the hydrosphere are waste products from humans and from industries, nutrient pollution e.g. fertiliser runoff which causes eutrophication (an excess of nutrients in the water leading to excessive plant growth) and toxic trace elements such as aluminium, mercury and copper
Hydrosphere pollution causes various water born diseases such as malaria or typhoid and even life threatening diseases in humans. Hydrosphere pollution is caused by the dumping of industrial waste into water bodies, discharge of domestic waste, bathing animals etc.
