Acid rain is corrosive and reacts with the minerals in the rocks, sometimes dissolving them and sometimes making them change into a gas. This weakens the rocks which then fall apart and get washed away.
It breaks down limestone, chemically acid rain is :
H2CO3, it reacts with CaCO3 (limestone) to break it down.
Limestone is effervescent with all acids, you can try it by adding lemon, vinegar, or any other acid to a chalk, you will notice hydrogen bubbles. :)
Sedimentary and metamorphic rocks containing carbonate and limestone are eroded by acid rain. Igneous rock is essentially untouched
the rain is more acidic so it wares away carbonate materials. and for regular rocks the force it has on the rock breaks the rock into sediments.
hope that helped.
the rain has stronger acidic content in it, so like a tablet in water, it dissolves the rock
It lands on the rocks and dissolves them.
The acid causes the calcite in rocks to change chemically, and holes from. Monuments, buildings, and gravestone made of marble or limestone change and weaken when exposed to acid rain and eventually breaks down fully.
When the weather damages things such as acid rain, it is weathering. Acid Rain is chemical weathering because it is rain with the chemical acid in it and it can damage things like buildings, rocks and other objects. Other types of weathering are Physical Biological
the acid rain goes in between the rocks and brakes it in little bites or in half
Normal rain (slowly) and acid rain (rapidly) both weather limestone.
There is no symbol for acid rain.
No. NaOH is sodium hydroxide, which is a strong base, not an acid, and is not found in rain. Acid rain is rain that is unusually acidic due to the presence of nitric acid (HNO3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Acid rain is still mostly water.
Acid rain
water, air, chemicals, ect Acid rain contains sulfuric acid that can chemically weather rocks.
Acid rain helps erode, etch, and decompose rocks.

basic rocks (as a base an acid) such as limestone
carbonic acid weather rocks by changing the chemical composition of mineral in the rock.
Calcium based rocks like chalk, limestone and marble are some examples of rocks easily erroded by acid rain.
Rocks containing calcium carbonate (Ca CO3), example limestone, tend to weather easily. The acid rain reacts with this component in sedimentary rocks and weaken the bonds between its constituent minerals, making it more susceptible to breaking away from the original portion.
Acid rain
Carbonic Acid can change the chemical composition of minerals and rocks.
The reaction that occurs when acid rain damages carbonate rocks is an acid-base reaction.
Carbonic Acid can change the chemical composition of minerals and rocks.
