Carbonic acid is the result of carbon dioxide dissolved in water, When carbonic acid is added to a rock and it bubbles, the rock is a carbonate.
Virtually all types of rock are affected or could be possibly attacked by acid rain, but the degree of damage caused differs depending on the rock itself. Nevertheless, on a larger scale sedimentary rocks are the principal victims of acid rain phenomenon. Especially, Limestone rocks.
Carbonic acid is created when CO2 dissolves in the rain and water vapour in the atmosphere. Due to CO2 being so prevalent in our atmosphere due to human habits polluting the air, the acidic strength and nature of rain is increasing. The Carbonic acid attacks the feldspar, augite, biotite, and dissolves out of elements such as K, Na, Mg, and Ca, found in the rocks. The compounds that form when the carbonic acid reacts with these elements are called carbonates.
Acid rain will dissolve softer rock like limestone.
Carbonate rocks like limestone dissolve in acid rain
it can erode and deteriorate them
acid rain erodes and dissolves them.
acid rain erodes stuff
Rocks containing carbonate, like limestone, dissolve fastest in acidic rain
It's acid...it lowers the pH of the water.
Acid rain attacks carbonate rocks and buildings through erosion.Acid rain changes the structure of soil.Acid rain dissolves minerals from rocks.Acid rain damages the eggs of fish and amphibians.
It decomposes rocks so that they mix with water to fall from waterfall.
No, it does not effect all rocks the same. It depends on the type of rock and the acid level in the rain.
holland, Sweden and Norway due to Britain's pollution
Acid rain helps erode, etch, and decompose rocks.
basic rocks (as a base an acid) such as limestone
Acid rain can dissolve stones.
Calcium based rocks like chalk, limestone and marble are some examples of rocks easily erroded by acid rain.
acid rain erodes stuff
The reaction that occurs when acid rain damages carbonate rocks is an acid-base reaction.
Acid rain can damage the leaves on trees and can kill them.
metamorphic rocks sedimentary rocks and igneous
no it is effect
