Acid rain is a result of air pollution. ... Some of these gases (especially nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide) react with the tiny droplets of water in clouds to form sulphuric and nitric acids. The rain from these clouds then falls as very weak acid - which is why it is known as "acid rain".

ACID RAIN DESCRIPTION

Rain that has harmful chemicals in it from factories, etc. that causes damage to trees, crops, buildings and rivers.

It may be defined as "rain water having pH less than 5.6". Acid rain can have harmful effects on plants, animals and humans.

It is caused when gaseous compounds of ammonium, carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur are released into the atmosphere. The wind carries the gases high into the sky.

FORMATION OF ACID RAIN

Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air.

These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain.

EFFECTS OF ACID RAIN

  • Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air.

  • These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain.

  • The ecological effects of acid rain are most clearly seen in aquatic environments, such as streams, lakes, and marshes where it can be harmful to fish and other wildlife.

  • As it flows through the soil, acidic rain water can leach aluminum from soil clay particles and then flow into streams and lakes.

Thank You ✌️
