Chemistry

IrinaVladis [17]4 years ago
7 0
This type of water pollution is known as thermal pollution. Thermal pollution is the release of heat into the environment. In the case of power plants they release heated water into waterways. Water is used in power plants to cool down machinery. As machines operate they release heat so the water is used as a coolant. Releasing heated water into an aquatic ecosystem reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of the water, so less oxygen is available for organisms to use for respiration.

Explain interaction between sun system and hydrosphere
qwelly [4]

Both the Sun and the Earth are sources of heat that power an interconnected set of dynamic systems (lithosphere, hydrosphere & cryosphere, atmosphere, biosphere).

Within the Sun, heat is transferred by radiation and convection, which involves circulation of hydrogen ions. Within the Earth heat is transferred by conduction and convection, which involves circulation of silicates in the mantle and the crust, and by the circulation of iron in the liquid outer core. On the surface of the Earth and the atmosphere, heat emanating largely from the Sun is transferred by convection, which involving the circulation of water and carbon. Both the Sun and the Earth and their atmospheres are layered. Both systems evolve and change.
