Question

What are the harmful effects of thermal pollution on water bodies?

Answer 1

Answer:

The effects of thermal pollution are diverse, but in short, thermal pollution damages water ecosystems and reduces animal populations. Plant species, algae, bacteria, and multi-celled animals all respond differently to significant temperature changes

Answer 2

This sudden loss of life causes further issues with the ecosystem
