You do not to need to be a scientist to see the effects of acid rain. You can pour acid on a marble statue and see it dissolve. Then you can walk around your town and see the old marble statues that are starting to dissolve. Marble gravestones that were visible for centuries are becoming illegible. Fish in outdoor fishponds are dying. When cold fronts come through, the owners must constantly check the pH to keep their crop alive. Coral reefs are dying. Maple trees and Frazier furs in colder regions and in the higher levels of the mountains are dying. Look around you. You don't need to be a weather man to know what way the wind is blowing.
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 is the relationship between sulfur dioxide and acid rain?
Sulfur dioxide reacts with water, oxygen, and other chemicals in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid. This sulfuric acid can then be transported by wind and water and deposited on the Earth's surface as acid rain. Acid rain can harm plants, animals, and infrastructure.
How does acid rain affect ecosystems?
Acid rain can lower the pH of soil and water bodies, which can harm plants, aquatic life, and soil-dwelling organisms. It can also leach essential nutrients from the soil, leading to nutrient deficiencies in plants. Over time, acid rain can disrupt the balance of ecosystems by altering species composition and reducing biodiversity.
What are the long term and short term effects of acid rain?
Short term effects of acid rain include damage to plants, aquatic life, and infrastructure. Long term effects may include soil acidification, reduced biodiversity, and corrosion of buildings and monuments. Acid rain can also contribute to respiratory problems in humans and animals.
What can acid rain destroy?
property, plants, trees, and can also poison animals drinking water
What do you think will happen to the soil crops plants animals and exposed water supply when there is acid rain?
happen to the soil,crops,plants,animals and exposed water acid rain
How is acid rain harmful to animals and plants?
How acid rain is so harmful to animals and plants is that most living creatures need water to live but acid rain is pollution and if that gets in a plants, or animals water supply they either drink or absorb it, and because of the pollutants and chemicals that are in acid rain it can cause digesting problems to animals, and growing problems to plants. Also if a plants absorbs the acid rain, and an animal eats them it will surely kill them in a short while
The effects of acid rain?

What are advantages of acid rain?
There are NO advantages in acid rain. Acid rain has dissolved the harmful fumes from factory and vehicle pollution to turn neutral rain into acid. This acid then damages plants, animals, landscapes and buildings as it falls to earth.
What affects does acid rain have on wildlife and plants?
Acid rain is very harmful for wildlife and plants as it contains nitric and sulphuric acids. It affects the growth of plants and roots are damaged therefore deforestation of plants takes place which causing a loss of habitat for many forests and animals will not able to eat fresh grass.
