Marble is more prone to acid rain damage than limestone and chalk because marble is made of calcium carbonate but contains higher levels of impurities like iron that react with acid rain and cause greater deterioration. Limestone and chalk have fewer impurities and are more chemically stable, making them more resistant to acid rain.

How does acid rain increase the acidity of soil?

Acid rain is made from chemicals in the air mixing with water in the air. This makes the rain more acidic then normal rain.


Machanism of formation of acid rain?

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.
