Explanation:

Thermal pollution 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. Other causes of thermal pollution include soil erosion. This will elevate water and expose it to sunlight. 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."

hope it helps.

Answer:

Thermal pollution refers to the state when a particular water body shows rise in it's temperature, which is pretty concerning. It initially takes place when temperature of any natural body consisting of water such as lake, ponds, fisheries, etc suddenly shows change, i.e., increases or decreases.

Explanation:

Apart from the reason mentioned above, there are plenty more reasons which account for thermal pollution. They are :

  • Water being used as a cooling agent - The water cools the equipment, the equipment heats the water and returns it to where it got here from. As a result, thermal pollution occurs.
  • Natural Causes and disasters - Natural reasons which include volcanoes, geothermal vents, and warm springs can purpose extra higher temperature in our bodies of water.
  • Soil Erosion - As soil erosion occurs, water bodies can rise. As a result, the water bodies end up getting uncovered to sunlight, and the temperatures are therefore, getting altered.
