What is caused by acid rain?

Answer 1

Answer:

Acid rain is formed as a result of the water cycle and man made pollution. Factories that burn coal and other fuel and cars that you see on the street everyday contribute greatly to the pollution in the air. The byproducts of burning coal and other substances (sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides), rise into the air eventually reaching the clouds. Clouds that are heavy with clean rain. Then the water and toxin mixture falls back to earth as rain. When it rains, it brings down everything that has been collected, and not necessarily back into the ocean. Rain, and many other elements, as you know, occurs all over the place. So then, all over the world, acids and toxins come down on people's heads. their crops, and into their drinking water. These rains aren't just called "rain" any more. They've become "acid rain" when they have sulfuric and nitric oxides in them. But it's not just the waters in the oceans and water bodies that are affected this issue, the soil can be contaminated by acid rain and even the stones of buildings and concrete can be eroded.

Other information:

As you may know, the water cycle begins and ends with the water in the oceans and in creeks, rivers, and lakes and all other bodies of water on earth.

People dump toxins and chemicals and chemical waste and byproducts into these bodies of water - which eventually leads to the ocean, which is connected to and is fed by all other bodies of water around the world. So you can imagine this great huge watery dumping ground in which the whole world dumps its chemical byproducts and wastes into.

Fortunately for us when the sun comes out, the heat in the air rises. Heat causes the water to evaporate. The particles and substances in the water can't evaporate so they are left behind. This is the same process as making distilled water for hospitals and laboratories. So the Earth is continuously making fresh clean water.

The next step is condensation. Condensation is when the water begins to form either ice, snow, or rain, and falls back to the earth, usually in a different place than where it had been picked up. Clouds in the sky are an example of condensation.

Other similar concerns to to acid rain: smog.

Originally smog was the word used to describe the air which a factory has been polluted with smoke and sulfur dioxide mixed with fog. Since then the term has been expanded to "Photochemical smog". Pollution, not just from factories, but also from the cars that we drive and ride in everyday, is acted on by sunlight to make ground level ozone and nasty organic chemicals.

Answer 2

acid rain is caused by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides;)

Answer 3

Acid rain spoils agriculture and cultivated lands and it pollutes rivers and lakes.

Answer 4

By the pollution in the air.
