The final Jeopardy answer is:C1 final

A factory uses water to cool its machines. Then it puts clean hot water into a nearby river. The

temperature of the river rises. The warmer water has less oxygen than the cooler water did. Fish in

the river start dying from lack of oxygen. Is the clean hot water from the factory an example of

pollution? Explain why or why not?

C1 finalYes, because pollution means any change in an environment that

can harm living organisms. The fish are being harmed, so even though the hot water is clean, it is polluting the river by

being hot.
