Acid rain can make the soil too acidic, which may mess up the growth of certain crops. When acid rain falls into lakes, it can poison the water supply for any marine life, as well as animals that drink from that water source.

Acid rain is when chemicals evaporate then rain down. This is so harsh it can burn through large rocks and leave indents. Acid rain can also kill plants. The less plants, the less for animals and humans to eat. If acid rain was to get onto bare skin, this might give a skin irritation.

What are the five agents of chemical weathering?

Chemical reactions break down the bonds holding the rocks together, causing them to fall apart, forming smaller and smaller pieces. Chemical weathering is much more common in locations where there is a lot of water. This is because water is important to many of the chemical reactions that can take place. Warmer temperatures are also more friendly to chemical weathering. The most common types of chemical weathering are oxidation, hydrolysis and carbonation.


Where did the first acid rain occur?

Acid rain probably started after the industrial revolution. In Man's quest to industrialize, we created so many industries without considering or bothering about the impact of the pollution we caused on the environment. Acid rain happens when there is significant amount of pollution in the air, these chemical compounds mix with rain clouds and therefore when it rains the polluted water causes "acid rain" or polluted rain.
