The burning of coal, oil, or gasoline releases a colorless poisonous gas called sulfur dioxide. This gas poisons organisms that breathe it. Sulfur dioxide in the air also makes rainwater more acidic. This acid rain decreases the growth of plants and harms their leaves. Acid rain that falls into lakes and streams can harm or kill organisms living in the water.
Acid rain can lower the pH of soil and water bodies, which can harm plants, aquatic life, and soil-dwelling organisms. It can also leach essential nutrients from the soil, leading to nutrient deficiencies in plants. Over time, acid rain can disrupt the balance of ecosystems by altering species composition and reducing biodiversity.
Yes, acid rain can cause lake water to become cloudy by leaching minerals and sediments from the surrounding soil, which then wash into the lake. This can reduce water clarity and affect aquatic plants and animals.
Sulfur dioxide reacts with water, oxygen, and other chemicals in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid. This sulfuric acid can then be transported by wind and water and deposited on the Earth's surface as acid rain. Acid rain can harm plants, animals, and infrastructure.
That type of rain is called acid rain. It forms when pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides mix with water vapor in the atmosphere, forming sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Acid rain can harm plants, animals, and ecosystems by altering soil pH levels and contaminating water sources.
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.
Acid rain can have a devastating affect on the desert. This acid can wear through the plants protective layer and it will then die in the sun.
yes
The fish could swallow the contaminated water and get into there system and they could die OR the acid rain could destroy their habitat and kill the plants and greenery.
yes, it can
It can be very damaging.
happen to the soil,crops,plants,animals and exposed water acid rain
Kiled trees do to photothisenise that is taking in the acid rain for water which is killing the plants
How acid rain is so harmful to animals and plants is that most living creatures need water to live but acid rain is pollution and if that gets in a plants, or animals water supply they either drink or absorb it, and because of the pollutants and chemicals that are in acid rain it can cause digesting problems to animals, and growing problems to plants. Also if a plants absorbs the acid rain, and an animal eats them it will surely kill them in a short while
Tap water. Acid rain contains chemicals that are not good for plant life.
acid rain, plants, and animals
Acid rain damages a plants germination process. If to much acid rain= is given to it, it will die. (SAD) :-(
it doesn't
