Thermal pollution is usually associated with increases of water temperatures in a stream, lake, or ocean due to the discharge of heated water from industrial processes, such as the generation of electricity.
Increases in ambient water temperature also occur in streams where shading vegetation along the banks is removed, or where sediments has made the water more turbid .
Thermal pollution by power plants arises mainly from the approx 65 percent of the thermal energy generated which is rejected to the cooling medium via the turbine condenser. This can be rejected into a river, lake, or the sea, or to the atmosphere via cooling towers. The amount of heat rejected for a turbine of a given output is not much different for nuclear plants compared to fossil fuelled ones.
Thermal pollution (hot water) can cause several environmental impacts. These include:
no nly thermal pollution
Nuclear power plants do not cause thermal polution.
nuclear power plant
solar energy is better than thermal energy as it is an easy and convenient method solar energy is non polluting therefore it is better than thermal energy because thermal energy cause very much pollution and it is costly also but solar energy do not cause pollution and as we are obtaining it from sun so it is cheap also

Those factories having boilers use coal as their fuel, cause thermal pollution.
Nuclear energy ! pros- causes almost no green house gasses, & pollution. cons-can cause melt downs.
Thermal neutrons with an energy of 0,025 eV
A. thermal energy B. nuclear energy C. gravitational potential energy D. Chemical potential energy the correct answer will be A. thermal energy because friction cause heat that what cause thermal energy.
Because it does not cause pollution by producing greenhouse gases and contributing to global warming
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
