It uses a lot of water.

It stops the growth of trees.

It increases the air temperature.

Answer :

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. An impact of a thermoelectric power plant on the environment would be it uses a lot of water which will significantly decrease the supply and amount of water available for use. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. 

Answer: It increases the air temperature.

Explanation:

A thermal power station is a power house in which heat energy is converted into electrical energy. In these power plants generally the water is heated so as to obtain the thermal energy in the form of steam which when spins in a steam turbine can be used to generate electricity in a generator.

As the heat energy is obtain from a boiling water that is in the form of stream. Therefore, it is expected to increase the surrounding air temperature.
