Acid rain chemically weathers rocks and buildings down. This means that the acid in the rain corrodes the surface of the rock or building. It reacts with almost any rock, especially carbonate ones, like limestone, marble and sandstone. The gas produced when this reaction takes place is hydrogen sulfide. When the acid rain corrodes into rock, it makes it easier to be carried away by normal rain and water. Over time, this will cause serious problems to the structure of the rock or building, and on buildings, the outside walls should be checked often.
