Objectives:
1.) Discuss the ideas about the thermal
pollution and pollution due oil slick
2.) Create an advocacy using the theme Stop
Spoiling our Planet
3.) Assimilate the impact of thermal energy in
our environment.
Thermal Energy
2.
Soil Erosion:
is another major factor that cause thermal pollution. Consistent soil erosion
causes water causes water bodies to rise , making them more exposed to
sunlight.
3. Deforestation:
Trees and plants prevent sunlight from falling directly on lakes, ponds, or rivers.
When deforestation takes place, these water bodies are directly exposed to
sunlight thus absorbing more heat and raising its temperature.
4. Runoff from paved surfaces:
Urban runoff discharge to surface waters from paved surfaces like roads and
parking lots can make water warmer.
` 5. Natural causes:
Natural causes like volcanoes and geothermal activity under the oceans seas
trigger warm lava to raise the temperature of water bodies.
2. Increase in Toxins:
With the constant flow of high temperature discharge from industries, theres a
huge increase in toxins that are being regurgitated into the natural body of water.
3. Loss of Biodiversity:
A dent in the biological activity in the water may cause significant loss biodiversity.
4. Ecological Impact:
A sudden thermal shock can result in mass killings of fish, insects, plants, or
amphibians.
A significant halt in the reproduction of marine wild life, excessive temperature can
cause the release of immature eggs.

lights oil are very volatile they evaporate relatively quickly so they usually remain for
long in the aquatic or marine environment .
Lights
Heavy
oils-
Bunker oils, which are used to fuel ships, these oil can be very
persistent they are generally significantly less acutely toxic than
lighter oils if heavy oils get onto the feathers of birds the birds may
die of hypothermia
Implication
Turn
think about how many lights you have in your house, as well as all the
electronics like computers or TVs all of these things use electricity if we all were to
turn off lights, computers and televisions when were not using them we wouldnt be
using as mush oil to create the electricity throughout the house if everyone around
the world decided to use less oil, we would lower the risk of a large spill.
