No, volcanoes are not the only source of acid rain. While volcanic eruptions can release sulfur dioxide and other pollutants that contribute to acid rain, human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, are the primary sources. These activities emit sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere, which can react with water vapor to form sulfuric and nitric acids, leading to acid rain. Other natural sources, such as wildfires and certain industrial processes, can also contribute to the phenomenon.
What else can I help you with?
What is a natural source for the chemicals that cause acid rain?
volcanoes
What is the natural source of acid rain?
I can think of two. First a rain drop falling trough the air builds up a static electric charge moving the ph toward acid. Next hydrogen sulfide gas released from volcanoes causes acid rain.
Does acid rain happen in Hawaii?
Yes. The Sulfur dioxide produced from volcanoes is what forms into sulfuric acid, which is acid rain.
Can volcanoes make acid rain Yes or no?
Yes, volcanoes can contribute to acid rain by releasing sulfur dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere, which can react with water vapor to form sulfuric acid.
What material erupted from volcanoes that is important in acid rain?
sulfur dioxide
Is rain a type of acid?
Only acid rain, normal rain does not contain acid.
What is the primary source of acid rain eastern US?
The primary source of acid rain is sulphur oxides e.g H2SO4,SO2,SO3 respectively
Are dust particles a cause of acid rain?
No. Acid rain is the result of nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides put into the atmosphere by volcanoes and the burning of fossil fuels.
Is acid rain the only type of rain?
no
Would there be acid rain if there were no humans?
Yes, there is still other sources for acid rain such as volcanoes placing sulfur in the atmosphere, forest fires placing CO2 in the atmosphere etc...
What is the main source of acid gases that cause acid rain?
The most important sources of acids in acid rain are mostly combustion fuels, including coal, gasoline, fuel oils, and so on. These have impurities that produce sulfuric and sulfurous acids. They also convert atmospheric nitrogen into acids. The most important natural source of acid in acid rain is volcanoes, which produce sulfuric and sulfurous acids.
Does acid rain affect your source of food?
It can indead affect your source of food and water.
