Thermal pollution is usually associated with increases of water temperatures in a stream, lake, or ocean due to the discharge of heated water from industrial processes, such as the generation of electricity.
Increases in ambient water temperature also occur in streams where shading vegetation along the banks is removed, or where sediments has made the water more turbid .
What else can I help you with?
Does nuclear energy cause air pollution?
no nly thermal pollution
What kind of factories is a major cause of thermal pollution?
nuclear power plant
How do nuclear power plants contribute to thermal pollution?
Nuclear power plants contribute to thermal pollution by releasing heated water back into the environment after being used to cool their systems. This heated water can raise the temperature of the receiving water body, which can disrupt aquatic ecosystems and harm aquatic life.
What factories cause thermal pollution?
Those factories having boilers use coal as their fuel, cause thermal pollution.
Nuclear energy pros and cons for kids?
Nuclear energy ! pros- causes almost no green house gasses, & pollution. cons-can cause melt downs.
Why is it good to use nuclear energy?
Because it does not cause pollution by producing greenhouse gases and contributing to global warming
Does nuclear waste cause ocean pollution?
Nuclear waste pollution can cause people and animals to suffer and most likely die from its poisons
What can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy?
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
Can any source of energy be pollution?
Yes, many remain of the energy extraction process such as combustion of fossil fuel contain CO2 that can cause acid rain in high concentration. Volatile compound from thermal breakdown of incomplete combustion can be carcinogen. Over thermal combustion such as NOx is toxic gas. The remain of Nuclear Fission reaction contain a lot of radioactive remain that is too weak to future perform nuclear reaction but strong enough to cause mutation and death from its' radiation. Some energy like Photo Voltaic Cell might not cause pollution when use but process of construction Solar cells and its' unit can cause pollution to water. Process of energy extraction always need care to minimized the pollution. no, in some cases the actual operation of a device like solar cell may be pollution free, but the assembly of the device would have caused some environmental damage. research continues in these areas to produce longer lasting devices that will cause less damage without their life
Why solar energy is better than thermal energy?
solar energy is better than thermal energy as it is an easy and convenient method solar energy is non polluting therefore it is better than thermal energy because thermal energy cause very much pollution and it is costly also but solar energy do not cause pollution and as we are obtaining it from sun so it is cheap also
How does thermal energy cause substances to undergo chemical change how does thermal energy cause substances to undergo chemical change?
Thermal energy cause thermal decomposition of a compound; the bonds between atoms are weakened.
What Can cause kinetic energy to change to thermal energy?
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
