Aquatic & Terrestrial Pollution

A) Chemical filtration

B) Evaporative cooling

C) Mechanical compression

D) Solar radiation

A) By increasing the oxygen levels in the water they release.

B) By releasing warm water or water vapor into the environment.

C) By reducing the overall water consumption of industrial facilities.

D) By filtering out pollutants from the water they process.

A) An increase in the solubility of oxygen, benefiting aquatic life.

B) A decrease in the population of fish due to reduced oxygen levels.

C) An increase in the growth of aquatic plants, enhancing biodiversity.

D) A decrease in the water temperature, creating a more stable environment.

A) By decreasing nutrient availability in the water.

B) By increasing oxygen solubility, which promotes algal growth.

C) By reducing oxygen solubility, which can favor certain algae species.

D) By decreasing water clarity, which inhibits algal photosynthesis.

A) By increasing vegetation cover, which cools the environment.

B) Through the heat island effect from paved surfaces.

C) By reducing water usage in urban areas.

D) By decreasing the amount of sunlight absorbed by buildings.

A) By reducing the amount of water used for irrigation.

B) Through irrigation systems that return water at a higher temperature.

C) By promoting the growth of native plant species.

D) By decreasing the use of fertilizers and pesticides.

A) Requiring the use of more efficient chemical filters.

B) Limiting the temperature of released water.

C) Promoting the use of non-evaporative cooling methods.

D) Encouraging the construction of taller cooling towers.

A) The Sahara Desert

B) The Antarctic ice sheet

C) The Great Lakes in the USA

D) The Amazon Rainforest

A) Reforestation projects

B) Power plants using water for cooling.

C) Decreased carbon emissions

D) Preservation of wetlands

A) It increases because warmer water can hold more gas.

B) It decreases because the water molecules move faster, making it harder for oxygen to dissolve.

C) It remains constant as temperature does not affect gas solubility.

D) It fluctuates randomly depending on environmental conditions.
