The river is very cold, and in electrical plants/industrial sites they take the cold water and use it to cool down the machines to continue to make more energy. In some cleaner areas of the river, people can swim. It is being used by people to fish, swim, travel, obtain electricity, and tour. ]]> 2020-10-26 14:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleemcclure/padlet/wish/861768795 kayleemcclure https://padlet.com/kayleemcclure/padlet/wish/861789245 The Thames in its early days was basically a highway. They used to take ships and travel up and down the river to deliver goods to the cities. These are the main reasons these cities exist on the river, to ensure ease of access to goods that they couldn't make themselves. ]]> 2020-10-26 14:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleemcclure/padlet/wish/861789245 kayleemcclure https://padlet.com/kayleemcclure/padlet/wish/861813343 The Great Fire of 1666 that hit London was stopped from hitting southern London due to the river. People had been worried that the fire would spread and continue to devastate the city, but thankfully it didn't. It also is probably full of dead bodies in the river because of The Plague. The name came from multiple different descents, but most of them came from Latin roots. It overall means "dark" or "deep". ]]> 2020-10-26 14:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleemcclure/padlet/wish/861813343 kayleemcclure https://padlet.com/kayleemcclure/padlet/wish/861846362 2020-10-26 14:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleemcclure/padlet/wish/861846362 kayleemcclure https://padlet.com/kayleemcclure/padlet/wish/861852273 The Thames is both tidal and non-tidal, and they are seperated by the varying sections. ]]> 2020-10-26 14:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleemcclure/padlet/wish/861852273 kayleemcclure https://padlet.com/kayleemcclure/padlet/wish/861867029 The reason the Thames is so dark is because it carries sediment from the North Sea. ]]> 2020-10-26 14:23:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleemcclure/padlet/wish/861867029
