What effect does acid rain have?

Burns your skin. Kills plants.The biggest effect of acid rain is on lakes and streams. It makes the water in them acidic. Fishes are not able to survive in this acidic water.

What gas is let off when acid rain reacts with sea weed?

When acid rain reacts with seaweed, carbon dioxide gas (CO2) is likely released. This is because the reaction between acid rain (containing sulfuric or nitric acid) and seaweed can cause decomposition of organic matter present in seaweed, leading to the release of CO2 gas as a byproduct.


What are humans doing to make acid rain worse?

Humans are contributing to acid rain by emitting pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from burning fossil fuels and industrial activities. These pollutants combine with water vapor in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, leading to acid rain. Additionally, deforestation and agricultural activities can release more acidic compounds into the atmosphere.
