The number one way to prevent water pollution is to not dump
waste materials into bodies of water. You can also clean street
trash to prevent it from blowing into the waters.

Why does the thermosphere have the highest temperature of all the atmosphere layers
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/14
The thermosphere is the first layer of the atmosphere where there are enough heavier molecules (oxygen) to absorb a significant anount of the Sun's radiation. Below the thermosphere, much of the heat is dissipated by convective currents. Although technically "hot", the gas in the thermosphere is so thin that it can pass little heat to other molecules, and loss of heat by radiation would still cool objects in this part of the atmosphere. the sun's radiation strikes it first
