Power plants and factories burn different fossil fuels like coal and oil. The smoke and fumes from burning fossil fuels rise into the atmosphere and combine with the moisture in the air to form acid rain. Acid rain is damaging to the leaves of many trees, it limits the nutrients available to them, and can poison them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil.
