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 the ecosystem.

Answer:
- The abrupt increase or decrease in temperature of any water body is referred to as thermal pollution.
- A lake, a river, a pond, or even an ocean might be used as a water body.
- This is primarily due to human activity in thermal plants or enterprises located near water bodies.
Explanation:
- The hot water from the plants is released into the water bodies, causing the temperature of the water bodies to rise quickly, further causing aquatic biodiversity to be distorted.
- Water is used as a cooling agent in power plants and manufacturing industries, soil erosion, deforestation – as forests help to cool the earth's temperature, natural causes such as volcanoes, geothermal vents, and hot springs; and the disposal of domestic sewage on water bodies that can trap heat are the main causes of thermal pollution.
