Rain can be destructive by wearing away surfaces of stone, such as sandstone, but this takes hundreds of thousands of years to show any evidence of erosion. When rain turns to acid rain, it is more destructive. It still takes a very long time for the erosion to show, but is more dangerous as the acidity can strip away vital surfaces for things like stone and metal.

The increased industrial activities and vehicular emissions have escalated the production of these pollutants, leading to a rise in the destructive capabilities of acid rain globally.
