How does air pollution and land pollution cause water pollution?
The pollution often clumps together and falls into the water where the fish eat the clumps of pollution. More often than not though, the clumps are smaller than what the eye can see, so the plankton are eating the clumps and the fish eat the plankton. either way, the pollution gets into the fish and they die. When they die, other fish eat the dead fish and eventually all the fish have eaten the pollution and will develop lungs to walk on land and eat your toes at night so never forget to wear your socks to bed.
