Answer:
Acid rain and fog also damage forests, especially those at higher elevations. The acid deposits rob the soil of essential nutrients such as calcium and cause aluminum to be released in the soil, which makes it hard for trees to take up water. Trees' leaves and needles are also harmed by acids.

Pollutants like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide liberated into the air by industries reacts with water vapour in air to form sulphuric acid and nitric acid. These acids come down as rain, called acid rain.
As it flows through the soil, acidic rain water can leach aluminum from soil clay particles and then flow into streams and lakes.
