Definition of Acid rain:-

Acid rain is any form of precipitation with acidic components, such as sulfuric or nitric acid that fall to the ground from the atmosphere in wet or dry forms.

Causes of Acid rain:-

1. Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air.
2. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides dissolve very easily in water and can be carried very far by the wind.
3. 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:-

1. The most basic microscopic organisms such as plankton may not be able to survive. So the sea animals, depending on planktons will die and the food chain will be affected.
2. If ocean temperature increases, the growth of coral reefs will be affected. The corals control the proportion of carbon dioxide by turning  CO₂ in the  water to limestone shell. Moreover, coral reefs grows in temperature just  above 10° Celsius.
3. Other ecosystems such as forests and desert will also be harmed. Loss of  biodiversity and the extinction of rare species will occur.
4. They also change the acidity level of the soil by leaching crucial nutrients. Thus it affects forest vegetation.
