Lake water is used for cooling in a power plant is an example of thermal pollution

Step-by-step explanation:

When a body of water is heated to an abnormally huge temperature in a manufactured manner by humans there expires thermal pollution. Due to the outflow of heated water from manufacturing processes there raises in liquid warmth in a water body.

A usual problem of thermal pollution is the effectiveness of the pool as a cooling agent by power plants and manufacturing units. When the liquid used as a cooling agent is delivered to the tangible atmosphere at a tremendous temperature, the unexpected variation in warmth reduces oxygen stocks and concerns ecosystem balance.
