No, it does not effect all rocks the same. It depends on the type of rock and the acid level in the rain.
well you can have acid rain but not all rain is acid rain
No. Acid rain is just one type of pollution out of many.
Rainwater contains carbonic acid, and chemically reacts with rocks, particularly carbonate ones, dissolving them slowly.As sulphur and other gases (most commonly found as byproducts of industrial activities) diffuse into clouds, the overall acidity of the rainwater will increase. In small amount this is not a real problem, but when the amounts begin to increase you can get problems such as acid rain. As rainwater is naturally acidic the effects of pure rainwater on rocks will be the same as those with acid rain (although the rate of acid decay of the rock will be higher with acid rain). The effects of the acid rain are most noticeable on limestone (as it is very susceptible to acid erosion due to its high carbon content). The acid will corrode the surface of the rock, allowing to be more easily dissolved into the water and carried away. Over time this can cause serious problems to the overall structure of the rock. If acid rain affects buildings then the outer walls will often be checked to ensure that they will still be able to help support the building.
no,one is a liquid the other is a gas
acid rain contains sulfur dioxide which is an acid, which then dissolves the surface of monuments, this is a slow process. also acid snow can do the same
First of all, erosion and weathering are NOT the same thing. Weathering occurs with no movement, and thus should not be confused with erosion. Erosion involves the movement of rocks and minerals by water, ice, wind, and gravity.Physical (or mechanical) weathering is the breakdown of rocks and soils through direct (physical!) contact with atmospheric conditions- pressure, heat, water, and ice.Chemical weathering changes the chemical composition of rocks through water interacting with certain minerals in rocks, transforming the rocks with chemical reactions. This weathering can also be created by acid rain. Acid rain occurs when gases such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide are present in the atmosphere. These react in rain water to create even stronger acids. Sulfur dioxide can become sulfuric acid within rainwater, which can cause solution weathering to any rocks the (now acidic) rain falls on. Have you ever seen statues or rocks that look like something tried to eat them? Actually, it's acid rain that's been eating away at the stone. If acid rain can get into streams, lakes, and rivers, it will kill any fish or plants that live in that water.
because naturally acid burns the skin because of the chemicals that are placed in them so the acid rain in the same
* acid rain damages crops because it increases the acidity of soil. * acid rain corrodes buildings and structures especially those made of marble such as taj mahal. * acid rain causes acidification of water in the lakes and rivers which causes the destruction of living things in water.
Yes It Does, Acid rain has a slight yellow tinge, although we can't see it with our naked eye.
Yeah it is, unless its acid rain.
Acid rain is caused by the same processes world wide, not just France. SOx and NOx are dissolved into water droplets and convert to nitrous or sulfurous acids. These then fall as acidic precipitation. With the close proximity of several major industrial countries in Europe acid precipitation precursors may originate from a number of sources to impact any of the other countries.
It is because of wind. When it rains does it only effect one area? No, the cloud can shift and move somewhere else. This is the same thing with acid rain. It goes into a cloud and whenever that cloud drops rain it drops the "acid".
