Acid rain is rain or any other form of precipitation which is unusually acidic. It has harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals and buildings. Acid rain is mostly caused by human emissions of sulfur and nitrogen compounds which react in the atmosphere to produce acids. In recent years, many governments have introduced laws to reduce these emissions.

A student can help stop acid rain by getting some friends to make posters to post around there school and community. After that try to see if you can get adults' support and see if you write a letter to your government. and see if they can make laws about company pollution which causes acid rain. Try to get them to change so that we won't have so much acid rain.

What can yo do about acid rain?

Acid rain is caused by pollution and has a pH level lower than normal rain. Acid rain effects soil and can kill trees, pollute our waters, kill life in water, etc. It is essential that we stop acid rain, and the way to do that is to stop polluting. The only thing that causes acid rain is humans, we can also stop it.


How do you use acid rain and wind and precipitation in a sentence?

Acid rain forms when pollutants are released into the atmosphere, and it can damage buildings and harm plant and aquatic life. Wind and precipitation can help disperse acid rain over large distances, affecting different regions.


What does pollution in the air have to mix with to form acid rain?

Pollution in the air, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, mixes with water vapor to form acid rain. When these pollutants in the atmosphere react with rainwater, they create acidic compounds like sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the ground as acid rain.


Can smoke from factories cause acid rain?

Yes, smoke from factories can contribute to the formation of acid rain. When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the smoke combine with water vapor in the atmosphere, they form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, leading to acid rain. This acid rain can harm ecosystems, damage buildings, and affect water quality.


What is the difference between acid rain and rain?

Acid rain is different to regular rain as it contains compounds of nitric oxide and other gases that have combined with water vapour in rain clouds to become acid rain...at least, i think so : )

What can you do to have less acid rain?

To stop, or reduce the amount of acid rain, you can shut down factories which make pollution. First, acid rain is made of pollution and rain water. When mixed and let gone, there is acid rain falling from the sky.

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.


Does nuclear energy stop acid rain?

Of course it does! Why do you think they had the Japanese nuclear reactor so close to sea? It is obvious that it's main purpose, besides providing electricity, is to stop some of the terrible rainfalls that happen each and every year on that area. And it doesn't matter if it is acid rain or not, that's the best part! It stops acid rain, normal rain, alkaline rain, rain with a pH of 2,4 (a more serious type of acid rain). That's why it is so wonderful! See ya!
