Question

write an article on thermal pollution

Answer 1

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 acoolant 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."

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

Answer 2

Thermal pollution is one of the major ways in which water pollution is contributed in the water because of the emission of thermally heated waters which are sometimes radioactive in nature in the water bodies like the ocean. So as a result the number of Aquatic animals are reduced in great extent because they are burnt by the heated water and the flora and fauna of the aquatic life is disturbed.
