Which rock would be most affected by acid rain?

Rocks containing carbonate (CO2) are highly affected by acid rain. Limestone (CaCO2) is a very common carbonate rock.


Can you show one sedimentary or one metamorphic rock that is most chemically weathered by acid rain?

Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is highly affected by acid rain due to its high calcium carbonate content. Acid rain can dissolve the calcium carbonate in limestone, leading to erosion and weathering of the rock. As a result, limestone formations such as caves and cliffs can be significantly impacted by acid rain over time.


Are copper roofs affected by acid rain?

Yes, copper roofs can be affected by acid rain. Acid rain can cause corrosion and pitting on copper surfaces, leading to a greenish patina forming on the roof over time. Regular maintenance and protective coatings can help mitigate the effects of acid rain on copper roofs.


One sedimentary or one metamorphic rock that is most chemically weathered by acid rain?

Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is highly susceptible to chemical weathering by acid rain due to its high calcium carbonate content. Marble, a metamorphic rock derived from limestone, is also highly affected by acid rain because of its similar composition. Both rocks can undergo dissolution and erosion when exposed to acidic rainwater.


What region of the US is least affected by acid rain?

The southwestern region of the US, particularly states like Arizona and New Mexico, tend to be least affected by acid rain. This is due to lower levels of industrial activity producing pollutants that contribute to acid rain formation in these areas.
