Acid rain is a problem for areas of Canada that are primarily hard rock, such as granite. This includes northern areas with few vegetation and thus, little soil, and lakes and thin layers of soils resting on granite bedrocks, making more than half of Canada susceptible to the detrimental environmental effects of acid rain. This is because such environments cannot neutralize acid rain, and it deteriorates the ecosystems. Fish, frogs, birds and insects that live in over-acidified environments start to disappear, and the acidified areas may eventually become devoid of most animal life. Trees are also affected, as acid rain damages the tree's leaves and needles and reduced the amount of nutrients in the soil. Eastern Canada is affected more than Western Canada, because of its granite bedrocks and the weather patters that bring acid rain to the East coast. Furthermore, human lives are affected because the waterways are interconnected, and sulfur dioxide, a component of acid rain, can form fine particles of sulphate and pollute the air we breathe. The health effects of this are wide-ranging and cost millions of dollars.

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.
1.acid rain is another bad effects if burning of fossil. fuels by man acid rain. 2. acid rain is can kill plants. 3. If it falls in to lake it can kill fish. 4. It can damage materials made in bricks metal or stone. 5. when sulfur dioxide combined with drops of water in the acid rain informed..
Acid rain contain carbonic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid.Acid rains are very dangerous for metallic structures and plants.
Yes
Causes of acid rain are as follows- 1. Sulphur Dioxide 2. Carbon dioxide 3. Smoke

Acid rain has nothing whatsoever to do with the breakdown of ozone.
Acidic gases causes acid rain. SO2, NO2 are examples for that.
Not directly; carbon doxide can cause an acid rain.
some of the human causes for acid rain is we drive our cars ,have oil companies ,and don't care about the electricity.
Acid rain has stunted the growth of forests in Canada.
aliens do first they throw up green acid and it goes down to earth and that is acid rain
Quahog
an element is not the cause of acid rain but a compound called carbon dioxide co2.
acid rain causes leaves to turn brown and fall off and causes slower growth and death of forest. so in general acid rain causes forests to decrease in number because trees keep dying
Acid rain causes pH problems and can dissolve heavy metals. These may cause poisoning..
