The change in temperature of the water can make significant changes in the ecosystem and diversity of the marine life . More so , this can cause a ripple effect wherein the habitat , food source and natural aquatic cycle can be subjected to distress that can cause major alterations in the dynamics of the aquatic ecosystem . The following are the

possible reasons why aquatic wild life would be affected (a ) Aquatic plants and animals will have an adverse reaction to the significant change in water temperature which will affect their daily operations (b ) Intense heat can cause coral bleaching which results to the destruction of the marine life 's natural habitat (c ) It can change the composition of the water as well as the physiological composition of aquatic organisms and (d It can cause an imbalance in the aquatic world (Wrona et al , 2006 pp .359-369

Then , it is passed through a mixture of lime or limestone and water , which absorbs the SO2 before the exhaust gas is released through the smokestack (SourceWatch Encyclopedia , 2009
