Organisms are adapted to the totality of the conditions in their environment. In aquatic systems, this could include the salinity and pH of the water, as well as the other organisms living in that system. But this would also normally include the temperature of the water. Thermal pollution changes the natural temperature of the system and may result in undesirable effects on the environment. For example, a power plant along a river may release cooling water that is warmer than the natural temperature of the river. This may cause the populations of some fishes to grow there that would not otherwise be there but for the warmer water. You might also increase the incidence of disease, since increased temperatures may be a stress factor for local aquatic organisms. Increased temperatures could also result in the growth of undesirable aquatic plants or algae, whose prior growth was naturally limited by lower temperatures. Generally, there are numerous adverse effects that can result from any change in the natural environmental regime, including thermal pollution. Some are predictable and some are not, but it is usually the ones we cannot predict that may be the most troublesome.
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.
What word means Increasing the temperature of a body of water by adding warmer water?
it is called thermal pollution
What is it called when a body of water warms from adding water?
When a body of water warms from adding water, it is often referred to as "thermal pollution." This occurs when warmer water from a different source, such as industrial processes or runoff, is introduced into a natural water body, leading to increased temperatures. This can negatively impact aquatic ecosystems, affecting species that rely on specific temperature ranges for survival.
What is a type of pollution that occurs when industries dump hot water into bodies of water?
Thermal pollution results from adding heated water to a watercourse. Thermal pollution encourages the growth of some aquatic organisms over others (e.g. trout need colder water than carp) and reduces the oxygen content of the water so that only more resistant life forms can live in the water.
Measures for controlling thermal pollution?
Thermal pollution control helps measure the high temperatures caused by thermal discharges. Many measures are taken to control thermal pollution such as cooling towers, cooling ponds, spray ponds, and artificial lakes.
What is the answer to an adding problem?
An answer to an adding problem is called a "sum"
How can we control air pollution?
We can control air pollution points by adding air filters to the exit points.
What are the solution of water pollution?
Solutions to thermal pollution include altering environment of watercourse, ooling the water in cooling towers before it is released into the environment, and adding or removing heat. Thermal pollution is the degradation of water quality by any process that changes ambient water temperature.
When adding thermal energy to a liquid what happens?
it heats up
What is the problem with adding chemicals to water ecosystems?
nothin add as much as you want muah ha ha ha nothin add as much as you want muah ha ha ha
Can result from adding or removing thermal energy?
A change in phase can result from adding or removing thermal energy. For example, adding heat can change a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a gas, while removing heat can change a gas to a liquid or a liquid to a solid.
When something is being melted is it adding or removing thermal energy?
It would be added thermal energy to break intermolecular attractions
