Acid Rain is formed by water evaporating out of a body of water, our anything that contains water. When the water is evaporated it will pick up some of the chemicals with it (usually really nasty stuff we polluted into our lake, rivers, and streams). Then when the rain comes down it will damage the plants beneath it and even our skin. some places are so bad that life is hard to sustain there
