Power plants release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere where they combine with water vapor to form .?
acid precipatation
When coal and gasoline are burned they release nitrogen into the air?
No. They release carbon dioxide.
What problems do nitrogen dioxide cause?
Nitric oxide (NO) is an odourless, colourless gas which is produced during high temperature burning of fuel in, for example, cars and other road vehicles, heaters and cookers. Once it is mixed with air it quickly combines with oxygen, forming nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Most nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere is formed from the oxidation of nitric oxide (NO) in this way, although some is release directly from source.
How does carbon get from living thing and into the atmosphere?
They release carbon dioxide when they exhale
What damaging type of precipitation caused by oxides of sulfur and nitrogen?
Acid rain. In a clean atmosphere rain is naturally slightly acidic, because it absorbs carbon dioxide from animal exhalation. H2O + CO2 = H2CO3 . However, With the release of sulphur dioxide ort nitrogen dioxides intoi the atmosphere, rain becomes more acidic.( lower pH) H2O + SO2 = H2SO3 ( sulphurous acid) H2O + NO(x) = 2HNO(x) (Nitrous/ic Acid)

acid precipatation
What natural processes renew supply of nitrogen in the atmosphere?
the death of plants and animals release nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases
What human activities release sulphur dioxide ,carbon monoxide and oxide of nitrogen to the atmosphere?
Burning of fossil
How are fossil fuels related to air pollution and acid precipitation?
When fossil Fuels are burned, they release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere causing air pollution. When these pollutants combine with water in the atmosphere, they form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which makes acid precipitation.
What do plants release into the atmosphere due to photosynthesis?
What do plants release into the atmosphere
What is a natural source of sulfur dioxide carbon dioxide and ash in the atmosphere?
Volcanos release sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and ash to the atmosphere at the same time
How man contribute to the formation of the atmosphere?
Well I know that the atmosphere has carbon dioxide in it, and when we breath out we release carbon dioxide that could be then added to the atmosphere.
When coal and gasoline are burned they release nitrogen into the air?
No. They release carbon dioxide.
How is sulphur dioxide released in to the atmosphere?
volcanoes usually release sulphur dioxide, after an eruption.

What do trees release into the atmosphere?
Trees take in carbon dioxide, store the carbon in their trunks and branches, and release oxygen into the atmosphere. This process is called photosynthesis and is done by all growing vegetation.
When animals release carbon dioxide what do they take in?
oxygen (amongst other gases like nitrogen and carbon dioxide)
