Year 12 - Pollution in the oceans

Pollution in the oceans: radioactive material, oil and chemical waste.

I would like you to produce a table (either on A3 or typed up) outlining the 3 types of pollution stated above (3 rows). Your table must have 3 columns (source of pollution, distribution of pollution, implications of pollution).

For the first column (source of pollution), describe where the pollution is coming from, i.e. what types of activities are a source of pollution).

For the second column (distribution of pollution), describe where the pollution is commonly found globally.

For the third column (implications of pollution), describe what affects the pollution is having on our environment, economies etc.

Use the websites below to research your table:
