Down
  1. 1. pollution from a discrete location, like a factory or sewer pipe
  2. 3. This type of pollution happens when A heat source raises the temperature of a waterway
  3. 5. excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water, frequently due to runoff from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life and death of animal life from lack of oxygen.
  4. 6. Reduces biological pollution
  5. 7. Natural seeps are the largest single source of this type of pollution
  6. 8. This type of pollution occurs when pathogens enter a waterway
  7. 10. decomposition of dead organisms causes a lack of this nutrient in the water
  8. 11. occur when colonies of algae — simple plants that live in the sea and freshwater — grow out of control and produce toxic or harmful effects on people, fish, shellfish, marine mammals and birds.
  9. 14. sediment pollution results from this process.
