How does acid rain effect the Geo sphere?

Acid rain can significantly impact the geosphere by increasing the weathering of rocks and minerals, which can lead to soil erosion and degradation. It can also contribute to the leaching of nutrients like calcium and magnesium from the soil, affecting plant growth and overall ecosystem health. Additionally, acid rain can alter the pH of bodies of water, leading to changes in aquatic ecosystems and affecting the geochemical composition of the environment.
