How does acid rain affect peoples lives?

* acid rain damages crops because it increases the acidity of soil. * acid rain corrodes buildings and structures especially those made of marble such as taj mahal. * acid rain causes acidification of water in the lakes and rivers which causes the destruction of living things in water.


What is the major causes of acid rain?

The major causes of acid rain are emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from burning fossil fuels, primarily from industrial activities and vehicles. These pollutants can react with water vapor in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the ground as acid rain.


How much acid rain does California get?

California receives moderate amounts of acid rain compared to other states, with some regions experiencing more acidic precipitation due to factors such as industrial emissions and air pollution. The state has implemented measures to decrease acid rain by reducing emissions from vehicles and industries.


What do you call the rain that contain chemical waste and causes damage to plants and animal?

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.


Why is acid rain bad for the earth?

Acid rain is harmful to the environment because it can lower the pH of soil and bodies of water, which can negatively impact plant and animal life. It can also damage buildings, monuments, and infrastructure by corroding them over time. Additionally, acid rain can contribute to the acidification of bodies of water, which can harm aquatic ecosystems.
