It is caused by addition of hot effluents and hot water bodies. Warm water contains less oxygen. So there is decrease in rate of decomposition of organic matter. Green algae are replaced by less desirable blue green algae. Many animals fail to multiply. Trout eggs fail to hatch while salmon does not spawn at higher temperature.

What is thermal pollution a byproduct of?
Thermal pollution is a byproduct of the production of nuclear energy.Thermal pollution is a byproduct of the production of heat. A foundry, for example, produces much thermal pollution in the process of forging steel.
How can thermal pollution be caused by soil erosion?
Thermal pollution can be caused by soil erosion, as the sediments make the water muddy and thus increase light absorbency and thermal pollution
An increase in a body of water's temperature caused by adding warmer water is called?
Thermal Pollution.
Where is water pollution happening now?
It is happening all around the world right now, but China has the most Water Pollution in the world. Hope this helps! ;)
In what sense is thermal pollution less-worrisome kind of pollution than most types of chemical pollution?
Thermal pollution can be a significant type of pollution as it can change th biota using a water body. This is especially a concern in smaller streams where the warm water can make up a significant fraction of the total flow. In large water bodies the warm water can dissipate or float on the top (it's density is less) until cooled. The thermal flux from sunlight can easily impact large shallow bodies of water as much as man-made thermal pollution. Thermal pollution is of less concern than chemical pollutants as it cannot bioaccumulate in the food chain. However, fish killed by thermal shock are just as dead as thos
What is the excessive heating of a body of water called?
The excessive heating of a body of water is called thermal pollution. Thermal pollution is similar to the greenhouse effect.

What pollution raises the temperature of water in waterway?
When the temperature of water in waterways increases, it's called thermal pollution.
Control measures of thermal pollution?
Thermal pollution is the result of water that is warmer than the natural temperature of a waterway being released into it. Heating or cooling water to match the temperature of the waterway before it is released will help to resolve thermal pollution.
An increase in a body of water's temperature caused by adding warmer water is called?
Thermal Pollution.
What is being done about Thermal Pollution?
One thing that being done about thermal pollution is that less electricity is being used. Another thing is that heated water is being reused and stored to reduce thermal pollution.
What factories cause thermal pollution?
Those factories having boilers use coal as their fuel, cause thermal pollution.
Does nuclear energy cause air pollution?
no nly thermal pollution
How can factories reduce thermal pollution?
Thermal means 'temperature' and 'environment' means that which surrounds you. Temperature would include the ambient heat of the air, hot/cold surfaces and sources of thermal radiation. Thermal pollution is usually caused by Man's production and use of energy or by Man's urban conurbations. There is little that can be done to reduce this form of pollution. However, thermal energy radiates away very quickly and Man's direct contribution to the heat/cold of the environment is minimal. It is greenhouse gasses that are causing the biggest thermal pollution but this is an indirect means of thermal pollution of the planet.
