How does Burning of Fossil Fuel be a cause of Acid Precipitation?
The burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas, releases sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) into the atmosphere. These gases react with water vapor and other atmospheric components to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which can then combine with rain droplets to form acid precipitation. This acid precipitation can have harmful effects on ecosystems, including damage to vegetation, soil, and aquatic life.
Dissolving a rock in acid is the equivalent of?
Dissolving a rock in acid is the equivalent of
Does schist rock bubble when with hydrochloric acid?
No, schist rock does not bubble when it is placed in hydrochloric acid. Schist rock does not react with any acid.
What is carbonic acid and how does it effect rock?
Carbonic acid is what forms when carbon dioxide dissolves in water. It is a weak acid but will over time, dissolve many rocks, especially carbonates such as limestone. To see what a very weak solution can do over millions of years one only has to visit Carlsbad Caverns or other karst caves found throughout the world.
Is a dinosaur bone turning into rock over millions of years a physical change or chemical?
A chemical change
Why does acid precipitation weather rock faster than normal precipitation does?
Acid precipitation weather rocks faster than normal precipitation because acid precipitation has a higher concentration of acid than normal precipitation.
Why do you think acid precipitation weathers rocks faster than normal precipitation?
Because there is acid in this precipitation than normal precipitation so it weathers the Rock alot faster because acid is very strong
The leaching of rock by acid precipitation is a form of?
Chemical Weathering
What rock type is the most effective at buffering acid precipitation?
Limestone
Why does acid precipitation weather rocks at faster rate than normal precipitation dose?
Acid precipitation weather rocks faster than normal precipitation because acid precipitation has a higher concentration of acid than normal precipitation. Because if the acidity is too high, acid precipitation can be harmful to animals and plants. When animals are harmed, they will start moving around a lot more than normal, causing rocks to weather even faster.
Which geologic process occurs when the acid in precipitation dissolves certain types of rock?
Weathering
Acid precipitation chemically weathers a 5.0-kg limestone rock Whichh could be the result?
A 4.8-kg limestone rock and some sediments that are not limestone
How does one type of rock change to another?
It can't, unless it may become compressed and change to a harder version of the rock it was before. Also abit of acid weathering could corrode and change the rock shape and make it weaker, but this is over a long period of time.
Acid rain causes what type of change in a rock?
Dissolution.
What makes metamorphic rock change?
over thousands of years the rock begins to change
What type of rock change over time?
Metamorphic rock.
How does a Carbonate rock form?
By precipitation.
