Acid+Rain

Acid Rain is an effect of pollution where when it rains, acid also falls from the sky and the rain is red.

Acid Rain is a type of erosion. Like regular rain, it slowly smooths and diminishes solids such as stone. However, due to its low p.H level, erosion occurs at an accelerated rate. ‍ ‍

Acid Rain has a low p.H level. This rain is caused when emissions of [|carbon dioxide], [|sulfur dioxide] and [|nitrogen oxides] interfere with the water molecules (H 2 0) in the air.

Tony and Alex did an expirement on acid rain for the science fair. Our results found that acid rain had a serious impact on seeds trying to grow. - A.L. (Admin Sidd M)

Acid Rain has occurred in China numerous times because of pollutants.

Acid rain happens during the water cycle because sometimes during evaporation the water will carry a type or form of acid. for example have you ever seen a statue the looks like it's beginning to fade away that's because that's the work of acid rain(E.C)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_rain

Acid rain can come from gases in car fuel,volcanoes, decaying vegetation. That's sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Trucks and buses also burn this fuel. Smoke and exhaust go in atmosphere. It mostly occurs in big cities. After, coal, gasoline, and oil are burned, the sulfur and nitrogen go in the air. They react with water in atmosphere. They then, form sulfuric and nitric acids. So, this creates clouds. Acid rain is a precipitation that is more acidic than usual. It can eat away stone statues or kill trees and other plants. Also, fish,and other wildlife near lakes or ponds. It's so acidic they die. __http://www.epa.gov/acidrain/what/__

Some ways to prevent acid rain, are to limit quantity of emissions released in atmosphere. Another way, for industries to add scrubbers to smoke stacks. This decreases the amount of sulfur going in the atmosphere. __http://acidrain.pbworks.com/w/page/1319114/prevention__
