what is the acid rain explain with example and in 30 to 40 words please
Answers
Explanation:
Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic, meaning that it has elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals, and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. Some governments have made efforts since the 1970s[1] to reduce the release of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere with positive results. Nitrogen oxides can also be produced naturally by lightning strikes, and sulfur dioxide is produced by volcanic eruptions.[2] Acid rain has been shown to have adverse impacts on forests, freshwaters, and soils, killing insect and aquatic life-forms, causing paint to peel, corrosion of steel structures such as bridges, and weathering of stone buildings and statues as well as having impacts on human health.[3]

Hope it helps you to understand it easily..........................
Explanation:
/-Acid rain is the rain which contains small amounts of acids formed from acidic gases like Sulpher Dioxide and nitrogen oxides present in polluted air.Acid rain contains very dilute solutions of sulphuric acid and nitric acid. Acid rain causes great damage to living and non-living things.
Acid rain has the following harmful effects:
1-/Acid rain destroys forests by destroying their leaves.
2-/Acid rain kills aquatic animals such as Fish, Turtles e.t.c And hence affects the biodiversity.
3-/Acid rain Corrodes the statues, Buildings and and Historical Monuments and damages them slowly.
