Acid rain
Acid rain is the term for damaging preciptation caused by oxides of sulfur and nitrogen.
Acid rain is a type of damaging precipitation caused by oxides of sulfur and nitrogen reacting with water in the atmosphere to create sulfuric and nitric acids. It can harm aquatic life, vegetation, and infrastructure.
Yes, that is acid precipitation, but it is more usually called acid rain.
Acid Rain
Oxides of sulfur and nitrogen that combine with water vapor can cause acid rain. This occurs when these oxides react with water in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the ground in precipitation, damaging plants, aquatic ecosystems, and infrastructure.
Acid precipitation is caused by a mix of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides released into the atmosphere from human activities, such as burning fossil fuels. These pollutants can react with water vapor in the air to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which falls to the ground as acid rain, snow, or fog.
Acid rain is a damaging type of precipitation that forms when oxides of sulfur and nitrogen react with water vapor in the atmosphere. This can lower the pH of rainwater, causing harm to aquatic ecosystems, vegetation, and buildings.
Oxides of sulphur and nitrogen in the atmosphere dissolve in the precipitation making it more acid.
