Water (vapor) plus certain gasses combine to form acids:
for example - CO2 plus water gives carbonic acid,
sulfur gasses plus water gives all the relatives of sulfuric acid.
Note that all rain tends to be acid - but the more extreme cases are called acid rain.

Is acid rain a chemical or physical change?
acid rain formation is chemical change when oxides of nitrogen or sulphur tri oxide present in the poluted atmosphere combines with rain water and they give respective acid solutions so the rain water become slitely acidic
Describe the formation of acid rain?
1.acid rain is another bad effects if burning of fossil. fuels by man acid rain. 2. acid rain is can kill plants. 3. If it falls in to lake it can kill fish. 4. It can damage materials made in bricks metal or stone. 5. when sulfur dioxide combined with drops of water in the acid rain informed..
What are two sources of the gases that produce acid precipitation?
NO2, for Nitric acid formation and SO2, for Sulfuric acid formation in atmosphere .
What is the purpose of acid rain?
Acid rain serves no purpose. It causes environmental damage. Acid rain is a process where the products of combustion (sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen) mix with the upper atmosphere in the formation of rain, causing the rain to have a slight to moderate acidity. Acid rain can destroy forests and natural habitats. In this process, the ecosystem or interaction between plants and animals is altered.
Conclusion of acid rain?
Acid rain is acid rain.
