Water Pollution - Worksheet | Printable and Distance Learning ... - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step.

We are given a diagram showing different sources of water pollution, and we need to match the words from the box to the correct labels already placed in the image. The words in the box are:

- Industrial Run-off
- Fertilizers
- Oil Spills
- Urban Run-off
- Mariculture
- Factories

Looking at the diagram (even though I can’t describe it), the red boxes with orange text are already filled in — they show where each term should be placed based on the context of the scene.

For example:
- Near ships and tankers → “Oil Spills” makes sense.
- Near fish farms or ocean cages → “Mariculture” fits.
- Near factories with smokestacks → “Factories” is labeled there.
- Near farmland with crops → “Fertilizers” is shown washing into water.
- Near city streets and houses → “Urban Run-off” is labeled.
- Near industrial areas draining into rivers → “Industrial Run-off” is placed.

So all the terms from the box have been correctly matched to their locations in the diagram as shown by the red/orange labels.

Now for Q.3:

The question asks:
> Which term is defined as pollution that originates from an identifiable, specific source such as an oil spill from a tanker?

Options:
a) point source pollution
b) non-point source pollution

Think about this:

- Point source pollution comes from one clear, single place — like a pipe, a factory discharge, or an oil spill from a specific ship. You can point to exactly where it started.

- Non-point source pollution comes from many diffuse sources — like rainwater picking up fertilizer from many farms, or oil from many cars on roads. It’s spread out and hard to trace to one spot.

An oil spill from a tanker? That’s one specific event from one specific vessel → that’s point source.

So the correct answer is a) point source pollution

Final Answer:
Q.2: All terms from the box are correctly labeled in the diagram as shown (Oil Spills, Mariculture, Factories, Industrial Run-off, Urban Run-off, Fertilizers).
Q.3: a) point source pollution
