The main human cause of acid rain is the harmful gases released from power plants. Gases such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide react with water molecules in the atmosphere to form sulfuric and nitric acids resulting in acid rain. This acidic rain water seeps into the soil and dissolves the minerals present in it. As a result, trees and other plants do not get enough of the minerals that they need for their growth. Acid rain also damages aquatic habitats by causing the water to be more acidic.
Which of the following would be the best measure to reduce the problems caused by acid rain?

A great way to reduce acid rain is to produce energy without using fossil fuels. Instead, people can use renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. Renewable energy sources help reduce acid rain because they produce much less pollution.
Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. ... Power plants release the majority of sulfur dioxide and much of the nitrogen oxides when they burn fossil fuels, such as coal, to produce electricity.
