Acid rain is mostly caused by human emissions of different sulfur and nitrogen compounds which once in atmosphere produce acids. Main reason for acid rains is air pollution as a result of fossil fuels burning. Power plants (especially coal based), factories, cars, they all produce polluting gases and some of them when in atmosphere react with water in clouds to create sulphuric and nitric acids which are very harmful to our environment once they fall on Earth in the form of acid rain. Acid rain can also take the form of snow, mists and dry dusts, although most common form is rain. The rain isn't always falling just on the polluted area as it can fall many miles away from the source of pollution. Wherever it falls, it has very harmful effect on soil, trees and water.

Is acid rain a chemical or physical change?
acid rain formation is chemical change when oxides of nitrogen or sulphur tri oxide present in the poluted atmosphere combines with rain water and they give respective acid solutions so the rain water become slitely acidic
Describe the formation of acid rain?
1.acid rain is another bad effects if burning of fossil. fuels by man acid rain. 2. acid rain is can kill plants. 3. If it falls in to lake it can kill fish. 4. It can damage materials made in bricks metal or stone. 5. when sulfur dioxide combined with drops of water in the acid rain informed..
What are two sources of the gases that produce acid precipitation?
NO2, for Nitric acid formation and SO2, for Sulfuric acid formation in atmosphere .
What is the purpose of acid rain?
Acid rain serves no purpose. It causes environmental damage. Acid rain is a process where the products of combustion (sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen) mix with the upper atmosphere in the formation of rain, causing the rain to have a slight to moderate acidity. Acid rain can destroy forests and natural habitats. In this process, the ecosystem or interaction between plants and animals is altered.
Conclusion of acid rain?
Acid rain is acid rain.
