What else can I help you with?
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.
What type of energy causes acid rain?
The primary cause of acid rain is the emission of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels, such as coal and oil. These emissions combine with water vapor in the air to produce sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the ground as acid rain.
What are some type of pollutants?
Some types of pollutants include carbon monoxide, particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. These pollutants can come from sources such as vehicles, industrial processes, power plants, and burning of fossil fuels.
What are 2 types of acid found in rain?
Two types of acid found in rain are sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which are formed when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, respectively, react with water in the atmosphere. These acids are a result of air pollution from human activities such as burning fossil fuels.
Are acid rain and pollution the same thing?
No. Acid rain is just one type of pollution out of many.
What type of rain falls in areas that have air pollution?
acid
What type of rain can be found in heavily industrial areas with large amounts of air pollution?
Acid Rain
What type of water pollution that joggers occur?
acid rain, chemical spillages
What country is polluted by acid rain?
It is worth noticing that acid rain is formed by clouds with high density of H2SO4 and as clouds can move, it is possible that almost every industrial countries and it's surrounding countries experiences acid rain. Also, acid rain is not considered a type of "pollution" Rather, it is a result of Air Pollution.
What type of rain is harmful to living and nonliving things?
Acid rain. Which can be produced either by industrial pollution (mostly sulfuric acid from coal burning), internal combustion engine pollution (mostly nitric acid), or large scale volcanic eruptions (mostly sulfuric acid).
Is rain a type of acid?
Only acid rain, normal rain does not contain acid.
what is acid rain ?
Acid rain is precipitation that's made acidic by pollution and causes harm to the environment.
Where did the first acid rain occur?
Acid rain probably started after the industrial revolution. In Man's quest to industrialize, we created so many industries without considering or bothering about the impact of the pollution we caused on the environment. Acid rain happens when there is significant amount of pollution in the air, these chemical compounds mix with rain clouds and therefore when it rains the polluted water causes "acid rain" or polluted rain.
Why would you not want a statue made of marble where there is a lot of air pollution?
It depends on the type of polution. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is the chemical which marble is composed of. A common form of polution, acid rain commonly contains sulfuric acid, which reacts with marble to form gypsum, under the following equation CaCO3 (s) + H2SO4 (aq) CaSO4 (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l) Thus, generally pollution only dirties marble, but in areas of pollution including acid rain, it causes chemical decomposition, resulting in its erosion.
A sentence using the word acid rain?
Acid gases, given off when we generate electricity, mix with sunlight and water in the atmosphere to produce acid rain.
Why would it be a bad decision to build a building out of marble in a town with a lot of pollution that could contribute to acid rain?
from what i know is that marble is a type of limestone and acid dissolves limestone.
