What else can I help you with?
An increase in a body of water's temperature caused by adding warmer water is called?
Thermal Pollution.
How does a thermal inversion impact the dispersion of pollution in the atmosphere?
A thermal inversion traps pollutants close to the ground, preventing them from dispersing upwards and leading to higher concentrations of pollution in the atmosphere.
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
How can thermal pollution be caused by soil erosion?
When soil erodes, it can carry excess nutrients and sediments into nearby water bodies. These nutrients can lead to algal blooms, which in turn can increase water temperature through a process known as eutrophication. The warmer water resulting from eutrophication can disrupt the natural aquatic ecosystem and lead to thermal pollution.
What types of pollution?
The main types of pollution are air pollution (from vehicles, factories, and wildfires), water pollution (from sewage, industrial waste, and plastics), and land pollution (from littering and dumping waste). Other types include noise pollution, light pollution, and thermal pollution.
What is thermal pollution of byproduct?
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.
What byproduct is a Thermal pollution?
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.
what- Thermal pollution is a byproduct of _____.?
Thermal pollution results when cooling water s used in any process that generates heat and the water is returned to a body of surface water without cooling. Thermal pollution can also result when a pond, lake or bay is allowed to silt up reducing the depth of water or the water flow. Ths would allow solar energy to heat the water.
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.
An increase in a body of water's temperature caused by adding warmer water is called?
Thermal Pollution.
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.
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.
What is the byproduct of the conversion thermal energy to kinetic energy?
Waste heat.
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.
