Answer 2

$\huge\underbrace\mathbb\red{ANSWER}$

Acid Rain is when gases in the atmosphere combines with falling water to form acids, which fall as rain. Two gases which cause it are: Sulphur Dioxide. Nitrogen Dioxide.

Causes of Acid Rain -

The causes of acid rain are Sulphur and Nitrogen particles which get mixed with the wet components of rain. Sulphur and Nitrogen particles which get mixed with water are found in two ways either man-made i.e as the emissions are given out from industries or by natural causes like how a lightning strike in the atmosphere releases nitrogen ions and sulphur is released from volcanic eruptions.

Effects of Acid Rain -

• Acid rain is very harmful to agriculture, plants, and animals.

• It washes away all nutrients which are required for the growth and survival of plants.

• Acid rain affects agriculture by the way how it alters the composition of the soil.

• It causes respiratory issues in animals and humans.

When acid rain falls down and flows into the rivers and ponds it affects the aquatic ecosystem. As it alters the chemical composition of the water, to a form which is actually harmful to the aquatic ecosystem to survive and causes water pollution.

• Acid rain also causes the corrosion of water pipes. Which further results in leaching of heavy metals such as iron, lead and copper into drinking water.

It damages the buildings and monuments made up of stones and metals.
