Question

Explain how thermal pollution can impact on the quality of water biodiversity​

Answer 1

The primary effects of thermal pollution are direct thermal shock , changes in dissolved oxygen, and the redistribution of organisms in the local community. ... Cold water contains more oxygen than hot water so increases in temperature also decrease the oxygen-carrying capacity of water.

Answer 2

Answer: Biodiversity can be decreased as a result. High temperature limits oxygen dispersion into deeper waters, contributing to anaerobic conditions. This can lead to increased bacteria levels when there is ample food supply. Many aquatic species will fail to reproduce at elevated temperatures. I hope this helps :)
