Answer:

HEYA!!! HERE IS UR ANSWER....

Explanation:

Certain monuments such as TAJ MAHAL is turning yellow due to the following reasons

ABOUT ACID RAIN....

One of the more destructive forms of pollution is acid rain. Acid rain occurs when fossil fuel emissions containing sulfur dioxide combine with moisture in the air to form acidic precipitation. When acid rain falls on historical monuments of limestone or marble, a chemical reaction takes place which has a corrosive effect on these structures. The reaction dissolves the material, leading to permanent damage.

GLOBAL WARMING....

According to the National Climatic Data Center, global temperatures have risen during the past century at a rate of 0.11 degrees Fahrenheit per decade. The concern with historical monuments lies in the temperature impacts on the chemistry. Heat acts as a catalyst, speeding the rate of chemical reactions. The fate of historical monuments becomes more uncertain, and the urgency to take action increases. Global warming occurs when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide trap radiant heat at the earth's surface, which causes temperatures to rise.

INDUSTRIAL SMOKE....

Smog occurs as a result of smoke particles from industrial plumes mixing with fog. This mixture produces a yellow-brown color near ground level, as explained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Industrial smog forms when smoke and sulfur emissions, from coal burning, combine with fog, under the right conditions. While the release of large quantities of air pollutants can form industrial smog, other factors have an important role in the severity of a smog outbreak. A temperature inversion created during the day can trap air pollutants near the surface of the Earth, exacerbating the production of smog, as demonstrated on the University of California at Berkeley website.

The monuments are getting affected due to pollution.

Explanation:

  • Pollution is not confined to only one location by get distributed from the site of origin to other places.
  • The wind carries away the dust, smoke and dirt from the factories, vehicular emission and from other places and deposit over the monuments.
  • The water vapor in the atmosphere mixes with the sulfur gas, this will lead to the formation of sulfur dioxide which is responsible for acid rain. The acid rain can digest and destroy the outer layer of the monuments.
