Question

what is acid rain give 2cause and 2effects of acid rain​

Answer 1

Acid rain results when sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents. The SO2 and NOX react with water, oxygen and other chemicals to form sulfuric and nitric acids. These then mix with water and other materials before falling to the ground.

Answer 2

Fossil fuels contain compounds of Nitrogen, Sulphur, and Carbon. A large amount of oxides of Nitrogen, Sulphur, and Carbon are discharged into the atmosphere. These oxides dissolve in rain water to form mineral acids like carbonic acid, nitric acid, and sulphuric acid. These mineral acids are the main causes of acid rain.
1) Acid rain causes nutrient loss and causes damage to leaves.
2) Acid rain results in calcium and potassium loss from the soil, which affects soil fertility.
3) Acid rains make the water acidic, which will affect the aquatic life adversely.
