Best Answer

Acidic rain drops fall for the same reason that normal rain drops fall: They are too dense to remain suspended in the atmosphere.

Acid rain occurs when acidic chemicals mix with water vapor forming clouds, and then aqueous droplets that fall as rain.

Is acid rain restricted by national boundaries?

Yes (meaning No). Unlike all other forms of weather, which are hard to predict, uncontrollable, and fairly random, acid rain will only fall upon nations designated as "deserving" by Al Gore. Tornadoes and hurricanes and earthquakes (and even plain regular rain) have resisted recent efforts to be politicized; but acid rain will only fall upon nations which are "bad." If you live within the boundaries of a "good" country, then acid rain will never fall on you.
