Acid rain falls in Nigeria especially in the Niger Delta region where the activities of oil exploration and processing causes a lot of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides to be released into the atmosphere.
It may not be as high as those of heavily industrialised nations, but in a non developing nation where there is no EIA, the effect is damaging for human beings, animals and other materials.
Jupiter has clouds, but not acid rain.
Acid rain causes many ill effects of acid rain to biotic and abiotic components of the earth. Acid rain erodes abiotic components and can kill or mutate biotic components.
Acid rain is bad because it causes serious health problems like birth defects and lung diseases. it can also cause cancer. acid rain also destroys monuments and kills fish. many forests are destroyed by acid rain. acid rain pollutes rivers and streams and erodes stonework.
Carbonic acid.
Yes. I would say so.Actually, I (JEK) don't think so... It can certainly harm plants and reduce harvest yields, but I'm not so sure that it presents a health problem to eat foods that were affected by acid rain. Acid rain does not directly impact the health of humans (for instance, if it is rain or bodies of water are not dangerous due to acid rain). However the causes of acid rain, the oxides of sulfur and nitrogen, are dangerous.See the Web Links for more information about the causes and dangers of acid rain.
Yes acid rain does fall in the rain forest since the clouds that would be acidic can travel with wind therefore acid rain can fall virtually anywhere on earth.

Dilute nitric and sulfuric acid fall to earth as acid rain.
Because it does.
the acids mix with water in the air and fall to earth as acid rain
When it rains,droplets of rainfall while reaching to earth mix with hazardous gases like Sulphuric acid(H2SO4),Nitric acid. Such rainfall is called as Acid rain fall. These gases are very harmful to humans. Such rain causes itching to human skin,rashes on skin.
No. While all rain is slightly acidic,it is only considered acid rain if it is far more acidic than normal.
Acidic rain drops fall for the same reason that normal rain drops fall: They are too dense to remain suspended in the atmosphere.Related Information:Acid rain occurs when acidic chemicals mix with water vapor forming clouds, and then aqueous droplets that fall as rain.
from Factories. The smoke from factories rises in the air and pollutes the rain that would fall when it rains.
acid rain; SO2, i.e. sulfur dioxide, reacts with water to produce H2SO3, or sulfurous acid, which then reacts with oxygen to form sulphuric acid (H2SO4), and dissolves in rain to fall as acid rain
