The Australian science agency CSIRO is collecting samples and measuring for acidity. Due to the sparse population between cities the effects of acid rain impact the forest rivers and lakes.and are a hazard for all.

Can marble wear away from acid rain?

Yes, marble can wear away from exposure to acid rain. The acidic nature of the rain can react with the calcium carbonate in the marble, leading to erosion and deterioration of the surface of the marble over time. It is important to protect marble surfaces from acid rain to prevent damage.


How can you stop acid rain as a student?

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 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 is the purpose of acid rain?

Acid rain serves no purpose. It causes environmental damage. Acid rain is a process where the products of combustion (sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen) mix with the upper atmosphere in the formation of rain, causing the rain to have a slight to moderate acidity. Acid rain can destroy forests and natural habitats. In this process, the ecosystem or interaction between plants and animals is altered.
