Fossil fuels contain certain amounts of sulfur, which burns to sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide. These react with water to cause acids. Also, most internal combustion engines create oxides of nitrogen, which do the same thing.

What human activities contribute to air pollution?
The burning of fossil fuels can cause smog and acid rain.
What is an effect of burning fossil fuels?
Co2 is released into the atmosphere and so is sulfur dioxide which causes acid rain
What can burning fossil fuels result in?
acid rain
How does burning fossil fuels hurt the biosphere?
the release of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels and other sources adds to the greenhouse effect, increasing global warming. Fossil fuel pollution can return to earth in the form of acid rain, harmful to our forests and wild life. As well fossil fuels release volatile organic compounds, harmful to our health.
What does not lead to expansion into the rain forests of developing nations?
drilling for fossil fuels
What human activities contribute to air pollution?
The burning of fossil fuels can cause smog and acid rain.
Water pollution can occur from burning fossil fuels due to?
Water pollution can occur from burning fossil fuels due to the acid rain. Fossil fuels will pollute the atmosphere which will result into acid rain.
What is an effect of burning fossil fuels?
Co2 is released into the atmosphere and so is sulfur dioxide which causes acid rain
The combustion of fossil fuels causes the acidity of rain to increase because?
When there is a combustion of fossil fuels acid rain occurs from sulfuric, carbonic, and nitric acid. Fossil fuels may contain radioactive materials.
How the acid rain formed by burning fossil fuels?
The fossil fuels burn and come up to the air as pollution. It gets into a cloud, and when it rains, there is acid rain.
How does burning fossil fuels affect rain?
When fuels are burned their pollution goes into the atmosphere where it mixes with rain, this forms acid rain.
Does acid rain cause fossil fuels to burn?
it does not
What can burning fossil fuels result in?
acid rain
How do fossil fuels relate to the destruction of forest by Acid Rain?
yes very much so it comes from burning fossil fuels
What effect do you think reducing the amounts of fossil fuels that are burned would have on acid rain and global warming?
reducing the amounts of fossil fuels is a good thing and it will help slow down the progress of global warming. Acid rain will not happen as much as it does now. But if we stop using fossil fuels and stop releasing greenhouse gases into the air. We could stop acid rain and global warming altogether. In conclusion, the more you reduce, the less acid rain and global warming.
How does burning fossil fuels hurt the biosphere?

Fossil fuel pollution can return to earth in the form of acid rain, harmful to our forests and wild life. As well fossil fuels release volatile organic compounds, harmful to our health.
How does burning fossil fuels cause acid rain?
