Chemical plants sometimes use water for their cooling processes. The water absorbs that thermal energy and gets released into bodies of water with living organisms (lakes, rivers, etc). This results in less dense hot water to float on top while cool water sinks below it. How does this affect marine life under? (Clue: Use concept of solubility of gases in high temperatures) *
