Acid rain is a physical thing, actual rain that has dissolved chemicals from the atmosphere (carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides). This turns the rain acidic and causes damage on the earth below.

Global warming is the rise in temperature all round the world caused by excessive amounts of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.

What effect do you think reducing the amounts of fossil fuels that are burned would have on acid rain and global warming?

reducing the amounts of fossil fuels is a good thing and it will help slow down the progress of global warming. Acid rain will not happen as much as it does now. But if we stop using fossil fuels and stop releasing greenhouse gases into the air. We could stop acid rain and global warming altogether. In conclusion, the more you reduce, the less acid rain and global warming.


What are the global problems of clearing forests and increased gas emissions from factories and motor vehicles?

The main global problems of clearing forests and increased gas emissions are global warming and acid rain. The clearing of forests means additional carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, causing global warming. Increased gas emissions also contribute to global warming and acid rain.


Decreasing the amount of what substance in the atmosphere would have a positive effect on both global warming and acid deposition?

Carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a powerful greenhouse gas contributing to global warming. It also dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, one form of acid rain. So reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would have a positive effect on global warming and acid deposition.

What is the harmful gas that comes out of driving cars?

Cars produce many many harmful gases.These include Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Sulphur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxide.Carbon Dioxide is a major contributor to Global Warming, and slightly to Acid Rain.Nitrogen Oxide contributes, not only to Global Warming, but also to Acid Rain.Whereas, Sulphur Dioxide contributes to Acid Rain.Carbon Monoxide, is a harmful gas, but does not contribute to Global Warming or Acid Rain. However, it can kill us humans, it is known as 'the silent killer'.
