What is a major contributor to the formation of acid rain?
The burning of fossil fuels is the largest contributor to acid precipitation. It is caused by sulfur and nitrogen reaction with the atmosphere.
What problems are caused by nitrogen oxides?
breathing problems / asthma (respiritory)
How does the water cycle clean the air?
Rain, snow and other precipitation collect and remove particulates and soluble gasses (e.g. nitrogen and sulphur oxides) from the air.
What happens when pollution mixes with the water in the air?
The teo most common pollutants that mix with water in the air are sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) These pollutants create acids with water. The combination is known as Acid Rain or Acid Precipitation.
What 2 pollutants react with water to produce acid rain?
sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides
What is the term for damaging precipitation caused by oxides of sulfur and nitrogen?
Acid rain is the term for damaging preciptation caused by oxides of sulfur and nitrogen.
Damaging type of precipitation caused by oxides of sulfer and nitrogen?
Acid rain
Is damaging type of precipitation caused by oxides of sulfur and nitrogen called acid precipitation?
Yes, that is acid precipitation, but it is more usually called acid rain.
What damaging type of precipitation cause by oxides of sulfur and nitrogen?
Acid Rain
Acid precipitation is caused by a mix of?
Acid precipitation is caused by chemical reaction of compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air.
What is a major contributor to the formation of acid rain?
The burning of fossil fuels is the largest contributor to acid precipitation. It is caused by sulfur and nitrogen reaction with the atmosphere.
What changes water's pH level in reference to precipitation?
Oxides of sulphur and nitrogen in the atmosphere dissolve in the precipitation making it more acid.
Could or precipitation containing pollutants such as oxides of sulfur and nitrogen to make them have a lower pH?
air polution
What substances responsible for acid precipitation are released into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels?
Oxides of nitrogen and sulphur.
What health condition is caused by ozone and oxides of sulfur and nitrogen?
Asthma
What problems are caused by nitrogen oxides?
breathing problems / asthma (respiritory)
Short note on acid rain?
acid rain is a any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic. acid rain is caused by emissions of carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides
