Acid rain is a bad thing because it damages soils, crops, lakes, fish stocks and even buildings. When we burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity we release emissions of carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrous dioxide. These all mix with rain to turn it acidic.
What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
Does acid rain cause fossil fuels to burn?
it does not
The cause of smog and acid rain?
the burning of fossil fuels can cause smog and acid rain
Can the burning of fossils result in acid rain?
yes the burning of fossil fuels can result in acid rain
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 can reducing the burning of fossil fuels help reduce acid rain?
By reducing the burning of fossil fuels, we can decrease the amount of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides released into the atmosphere. These pollutants are major contributors to acid rain formation. Therefore, decreasing the use of fossil fuels can help lower the levels of acid rain.
How does burning fossil fuels affect rain?
Burning fossil fuels releases pollutants into the atmosphere, leading to the formation of acid rain. Acid rain can harm the environment by damaging vegetation, polluting water sources, and impacting aquatic ecosystems.
How do fossil fuels relate to the destruction of forest by Acid Rain?
yes very much so it comes from burning fossil fuels
What human activity responsible for the formation of smog and acid rain?
The burning of fossil fuels can cause smog and acid rain.
What human activitys is responsible for the formation for smog and acid rain?
The burning of fossil fuels can cause smog and acid rain.
Which element present as an impurity in fossil fuels causes acid rain?
There are at least two elements which when burnt contribute to acid rain. Sulfur which when burnt and mixed with rain water forms sulphuric acid H2SO4 and Carbon which when burnt and mixed with water forms carbonic acid H2CO3 Both of these acids can be formed by burning Fossil fuels and also form naturally in the gases discharged by volcanoes.
