Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonpoint sources are those that cannot be identified individually and hence are difficult to control. These sources are spread across a wide area and produce pollution in a diffuse or indirect manner. Examples of nonpoint sources include agricultural runoff, urban runoff, and atmospheric deposition. Stationary sources are fixed sources of pollution such as factories or power plants. Point sources are identifiable sources of pollution such as a pipe discharging into a lake or a smokestack emitting pollutants. Mobile sources are those that move and include sources such as cars, trucks, and planes.
