because of our geographic aglinment and our massive land mass and our 0.3%of the world population all contribute to why it is not a major problem in Aus.

Name of gas which is the main constituent of acid rain?

Carbon Dioxide is always in the atmosphere, so all rain has some carbonic acid in it.


What areas of Australia are at that most risk of acid rain?

Areas in Australia with more industrial activities, such as New South Wales and Victoria, are at a higher risk of acid rain due to increased emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Regions downwind from coal-fired power plants and areas with heavy traffic congestion also face a greater risk of acid rain.


What is the major causes of acid rain?

The major causes of acid rain are emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from burning fossil fuels, primarily from industrial activities and vehicles. These pollutants can react with water vapor in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the ground as acid rain.


Does Brazil have a problem with acid rain?

Yes, Brazil does have a problem with acid rain, mainly due to industrial emissions and deforestation. The Amazon rainforest is particularly vulnerable to acid rain, which can harm plant and animal life as well as affect water quality in the region. Efforts are being made to monitor and reduce air pollution to mitigate the impact of acid rain in Brazil.


Why and where is acid rain a problem?

Acid rain is a problem because it can harm ecosystems, damage buildings and infrastructure, and pose health risks to humans. It occurs when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels and react with water vapor to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Regions with high levels of industrial activity, such as urban areas and areas downwind of power plants, are more likely to experience problems with acid rain.
