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.


What type of weathering causes acid rain?

Chemical weathering causes acid rain. When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the atmosphere from human activities, they combine with water vapor to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the earth's surface as acid rain.


Which type or types of weathering is cause by acidic rain?

Acid rain primarily causes chemical weathering, specifically the process of dissolution where acidic water dissolves minerals from rocks. This can lead to the deterioration and weakening of the rock structure over time.


What is the harmful rain that contains sulfur and nitrogen compounds?

Acid rain is the harmful type of rain that contains sulfur and nitrogen compounds. These compounds are released into the atmosphere from industrial activities and vehicle emissions, forming sulfuric acid and nitric acid when they react with water in the atmosphere. Acid rain can have detrimental effects on ecosystems, infrastructure, and human health.


Acid rain causes what type of change in a rock?

Acid rain can cause chemical weathering of rocks, particularly of calcareous rocks like limestone and marble. The acidic precipitation reacts with the minerals in the rock, leading to their breakdown and dissolution over time. This can result in the formation of new minerals and the gradual disintegration of the rock surface.
